By the Waters of Babylon
Jan. 22nd, 2008 12:14 amBy the Waters of Babylon is one of the earliest SF short stories I ever read, and it's stuck with me through the years. I first read it because it was in my big sister's 9th grade reader (I'm 5 years younger, give or take, which means I first read it when I was in fourth grade). After the first read, time passed, and I couldn't remember where I'd read that story. Then *I* went into 9th grade, and there it was! Yay!
And now, years later, I found it on Wiki, which has a book repository of out-of-copyright books and short stories. Very cool. I now have that elusive story stored on my computer. Yup. Still a great story - and it fits in GREAT with the TV special on the History Channel, "Life After People", which just aired.
