Mother
and
Father
Black
were
there
,
with
Brother
Edward
,
and
they
cried
,
their
faces
melting
now
from
a
familiar
face
into
something
else
.
Grandpa
and
Grandma
Lustig
were
there
,
weeping
,
their
faces
shifting
like
wax
,
shimmering
as
all
things
shimmer
on
a
hot
day
.
The
coffins
were
lowered
Someone
murmured
about
"
the
unexpected
and
sudden
deaths
of
sixteen
fine
men
during
the
night
—
"
Earth
pounded
down
on
the
coffin
lids
.
The
brass
band
,
playing
"
Columbia
,
the
Gem
of
the
Ocean
,
"
marched
and
slammed
back
into
town
,
and
everyone
took
the
day
off
.
It
was
so
cold
when
they
first
came
from
the
rocket
into
the
night
that
Spender
began
to
gather
the
dry
Martian
wood
and
build
a
small
fire
.
He
didn
’
t
say
anything
about
a
celebration
;
he
merely
gathered
the
wood
,
set
fire
to
it
,
and
watched
it
burn
.
In
the
flare
that
lighted
the
thin
air
of
this
dried
-
up
sea
of
Mars
he
looked
over
his
shoulder
and
saw
the
rocket
that
had
brought
them
all
,
Captain
Wilder
and
Cheroke
and
Hathaway
and
Sam
Parkhill
and
himself
,
across
a
silent
black
space
of
stars
to
land
upon
a
dead
,
dreaming
world
.
Jeff
Spender
waited
for
the
noise
.
He
watched
the
other
men
and
waited
for
them
to
jump
around
and
shout
.
It
would
happen
as
soon
as
the
numbness
of
being
the
"
first
"
men
to
Mars
wore
off
.
None
of
them
said
anything
,
but
many
of
them
were
hoping
,
perhaps
,
that
the
other
expeditions
had
failed
and
that
this
,
the
Fourth
,
would
be
the
one
.
They
meant
nothing
evil
by
it
.
But
they
stood
thinking
it
,
nevertheless
,
thinking
of
the
honor
and
fame
,
while
their
lungs
became
accustomed
to
the
thinness
of
the
atmosphere
,
which
almost
made
you
drunk
if
you
moved
too
quiddy
.
Gibbs
walked
over
to
the
freshly
ignited
fire
and
said
,
"
Why
don
’
t
we
use
the
ship
chemical
fire
instead
of
that
wood
?
"
