Teece
and
Grandpa
came
walking
tiredly
back
to
the
hardware
store
an
hour
later
.
The
men
were
still
sitting
there
,
listening
,
and
watching
the
sky
.
Just
as
Teece
sat
down
and
eased
his
tight
shoes
off
someone
cried
,
"
Look
!
"
"
I
ll
be
damned
if
I
will
,
"
said
Teece
.
But
the
others
looked
.
And
they
saw
the
golden
bobbins
rising
in
the
sky
,
far
away
.
Leaving
flame
behind
,
they
vanished
.

In
the
cotton
fields
the
wind
blew
idly
among
the
snow
dusters
.
In
still
farther
meadows
the
watermelons
lay
,
unfingerprinted
,
striped
like
tortoise
cats
lying
in
the
sun
.
The
men
on
the
porch
sat
down
,
looked
at
each
other
,
looked
at
the
yellow
rope
piled
neat
on
the
store
shelves
,
glanced
at
the
gun
shells
glinting
shiny
brass
in
their
cartons
,
saw
the
silver
pistols
and
long
black
metal
shotguns
hung
high
and
quiet
in
the
shadows
.
Somebody
put
a
straw
in
his
mouth
,
Someone
else
drew
a
figure
in
the
dust
.
Finally
Samuel
Teece
held
his
empty
shoe
up
in
triumph
,
turned
it
over
,
stared
at
it
,
and
said
,
"
Did
you
notice
?
Right
up
to
the
very
last
,
by
God
,
he
said
«
Mister
»
!
"
They
came
to
the
strange
blue
lands
and
put
their
names
upon
the
lands
.
Here
was
Hinkston
Creek
and
Lustig
Corners
and
Black
River
and
Driscoll
Forest
and
Peregrine
Mountain
and
Wilder
Town
,
all
the
names
of
people
and
the
things
that
the
people
did
.
Here
was
the
place
where
Martians
killed
the
first
Earth
Men
,
and
it
was
Red
Town
and
had
to
do
with
blood
.
And
here
where
the
second
expedition
was
destroyed
,
and
it
was
named
Second
Try
,
and
each
of
the
other
places
where
the
rocket
men
had
set
down
their
fiery
caldrons
to
burn
the
land
,
the
names
were
left
like
cinders
,
and
of
course
there
was
a
Spender
Hill
and
a
Nathaniel
York
Town

The
old
Martian
names
were
names
of
water
and
air
and
hills
.
They
were
the
names
of
snows
that
emptied
south
in
stone
canals
to
fill
the
empty
seas
.
And
the
names
of
sealed
and
buried
sorcerers
and
towers
and
obeisks
.
And
the
rockets
struck
at
the
names
like
hammers
,
breaking
away
the
marble
into
shale
,
shattering
the
crockery
milestones
that
named
the
old
towns
,
in
the
rubble
of
which
great
pylons
were
plunged
with
new
names
:
IRON
TOWN
,
STEEL
TOWN
,
ALUMINUM
CITY
,
ELECTRIC
VILLAGE
,
CORN
TOWN
,
GRAIN
VILLA
,
DETROIT
II
,
all
the
mechanical
names
and
the
metal
names
from
Earth
.
And
after
the
towns
were
built
and
named
,
the
graveyards
were
built
and
named
,
too
:
Green
Hill
,
Moss
Town
,
Boot
Hill
,
Bide
a
Wee
;
and
the
first
dead
went
into
their
graves
But
after
everything
was
pinned
down
and
neat
and
in
its
place
,
when
everything
was
safe
and
certain
,
when
the
towns
were
well
enough
fixed
and
the
loneliness
was
at
a
minimum
,
then
the
sophisticates
came
in
from
Earth
.
They
came
on
parties
and
vacations
,
on
little
shopping
trips
for
trinkets
and
photographs
and
the
"
atmosphere
"
;
they
came
to
study
and
apply
sociological
laws
;
they
came
with
stars
and
badges
and
rules
and
regulations
,
bringing
some
of
the
red
tape
that
had
rawled
across
Earth
like
an
alien
weed
,
and
letting
it
grow
on
Mars
wherever
it
could
take
root
.
They
began
to
plan
people
s
lives
and
libraries
;
they
began
to
instruct
and
push
about
the
very
people
who
had
come
to
Mars
to
get
away
from
being
instructed
and
ruled
and
pushed
about
.
