Something made them swim in and lie in the bay, sort of trembling and staring up at the tower light going red, white, red, white across them so I could see their funny eyes.
Sadly, Maggie passed away in November of 2003. I know that because the story has a sea monster which ado not exist in real life. And on this clear day tinged with a little wistfulness, on this sun-drenched Sunday afternoon that I spent at home since I didn't care much for the outside world today, I found this Bradbury mentioned on some list by a bookshop I follow on Twitter. The million years of isolation at the bottom of the sea, the insanity of time there, while the skies cleared of reptile-birds, the swamps fried on the continental lands, the sloths and sabre-tooths had there day and sank in tar pits, and men ran like white ants upon the hills. As he's finishing the story, he points out in the distance and exclaims that he creature has arrived.

The Emperor adores his invention that allows him to watch the controlled, fake motions of the people living in his Empire. The following day, the sun was hot and yellow. McDunn attributes the monster's actions to feelings of unrequited love for the lighthouse, whose fog horn sounds exactly like the wailings of the sea monster himself. Later McDunn explains to Johnny how. Since it says it was a cold night, you can predict it was during fall to winter time.
But the monster never did likewise. This year however, it seems angry. It reared up, threshed the water, and rushed at the tower, its eyes filled with angry torment. The story ends with the Emperor playing with his own invention, a miniature version of his empire where men walk through the valleys and forests and birds flew through the sky. It does not want to be alone again. Wells and 'The Whole Town's Sleeping' by Ray Bradbury are two stories that try to build up fear in their readers. There is curiosity here and a scientific mind.

George and Lennie travel together and they are never lonely. When Johnny goes back to visit McDunn, he said that the monster never returned and it'll wait back in the deeps until mankind is gone before it looks for others of its kind again.

When the gigantic creature, one of its kind arrives, Johnny is, as most people would be, in complete shock. The next year they built a new lighthouse, but by that time I had a job in the little town and a wife and a good small warm house that glowed yellow on autumn nights, the doors locked, the chimney puffing smoke.
