This was a short story I read in ninth grade and I was sure it was in a book of Bradbury short stories. But I could be wrong. It's him giving the story of his life, while at every point of his life already seeing and knowing every other. So he knows from the moment he's born about the encounter with the creature on Mars that makes him the way he is, and he repeatedly tries to tell people what will happen and that he shouldn't go there (because he finds this horrifying), and yet somehow he goes into space anyway, comes across the creature that attacks/infects him, and then lives out the rest of his life. The point being that he can't ever change anything, because time is immutable. He can't change his fate because he's already going to do that. There's no way out.Statistics: Posted by Mike — Tue Oct 25, 2016 2:21 pm
