I was convinced Bradbury was going to show up, because he also wrote this story.

Shirley R

I think his stuff was so long ago that people forget the horror aspect of his writing. "Dark They Were, and Golden-eyed" is about the karmic effects of a literal genocide.

I was thinking of "Skeleton," which is about a guy who freaks out because he has a skeleton inside him. He finds a... person?... who offers to remove it. Unfortunately for the protagonist this is not fatal, or at least not immediately.

David Niall Wilson

It's true though. The bones. Nobody saw lor coming...

He should've just found a genie to do it, like Peter Griffin did. Easy as pie. Weenie, beanie, thank you genie.
