“Is that God up there?”

I’m in tears.

Wasn't there an Asimov story about a world where people only saw the sun every 7 years or something? And someone cruelly locked someone away so she never got to see the sun?

My memory is a little fuzzy. I remember first hearing about it here on FR though. I do remember that!

[CharlieOK1]

me too!

If I remember that story correctly, it was set on a moon where it rained constantly. A girl who was constantly telling other children that a day would soon come when it wasn’t raining was locked in a closet as a joke by her classmates, and missed the one hour every seven years when it didn’t rain.

[CharlieOK1]

thats the one. I wish I knew what it was called. This story reminded me of that.

Ray Bradbury, “All Summer in a Day”

[CharlieOK1]

Thank you! Bradbury, not Asimov.

I remember reading about that story and just the thought of that made me sad. To think these children really had never seen God's glorious creation is just heartbreaking

My memory is fuzzy, too, but I think Asimov’s Nightfall was the opposite situation. There was a multiple sun system so that one of the suns was always shining and the planet was always light. When the suns aligned just right, though, the planet went dark and things got interesting. Unfortunately, that’s all I remember.

What I'd heard on the news was that he told his wife, originally, that Elisabeth had run away to join a cult. Then, when Elisabeth had children, he told his wife that she had dumped them on the family, and gone back to the cult.

What I don't understand is how he chose which ones to raise upstairs, and which ones to leave downstairs. Maybe the downstairs ones looked TOO much like him, and he didn't want to raise too many suspicions.

It also makes me wonder what made the doctor so suspicious, when Kirsten was brought to the hospital, that they would send people to the house.

Or will we look like what God wants us to be?

CS Lewis talks a little about this, and he essentially argues that it will be our souls that exist in heaven, which certainly wouldn't have the physical limitations or handicaps that our bodies on Earth have. I think I would agree with that...

[CharlieOK1]

I read where the ones that cried too loudly lived upstairs with him. He couldnt risk one of the "crybabies" alerting anyone to their whereabouts.

I hope those children never find out this stuff. They will wish they had cried more as a baby.

I felt bad for the tenant who had heard sounds and wondered about them, and saw the father bringing food to the cellar, but never considered questioning him. He said he’d regret it the rest of his life, especially since there were two or three children who had been born since he’d heard those noises. I’m sure he thinks he might have been able to save Elisabeth those few years of pain, and those children that trauma.
