Read this excerpt from 'the pedestrian" by ray bradbury
he walked like a man suddenly drunk. as he passed the
front window of the car he looked in. as he had expected,
there was no one in the front seat, no one in the car at all
"get in
he put his hand to the door and peered into the back seat,
which was a little cell, a little black jail with bars. it smelled
of riveted steel. it smelled of harsh antiseptic; it smelled
too clean and hard and metallic
there was nothing soft there.
