"Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall." -Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury was the consummate writer, telling stories he loved, while thrilling us  and challenging the things we thought we knew. Farenheit 451, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Dandelion Wine, The Martian Chronicles, he wrote books, short stories, screenplays, and more. 

Today's story was written under the pseudonym of Brett Sterling for the magazine Thrilling Wonder Stories in October 1948. I hope you like it. 

And now, Referent, by Ray Bradbury.
