The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury

The Pedestrian  by Ray Bradbury Summary  Set in the year A.D. 2053, Ray Bradbury’s short story “The Pedestrian” presents a haunting vision of a future society where technology dominates life and human interaction has nearly disappeared. The story follows Mr. Leonard Mead, a solitary man who finds peace and pleasure in doing something everyone else has forgotten—taking evening walks through his city’s empty streets. Each night at eight o’clock, Mr. Mead steps out into the misty November evening.

The Last Leaf by O. Henry

  THE LAST LEAF In a little district west of Washington Square the streets have run crazy and broken themselves into small strips called “places.” These “places” make strange angles and curves. One street crosses itself a time or two. An artist once discovered a valuable possibility in this street. Suppose a collector with a bill for paints, paper and canvas should, in traversing this route, suddenly meet himself coming back, without a cent having been paid on account! So, to quaint old Greenwich Village the art people soon came prowling, hunting for north windows and eighteenth-century gables and Dutch attics and low rents. Then they imported some pewter mugs and a chafing dish or two from Sixth avenue, and became a “colony.” At the top of a squatty, three-story brick Sue and Johnsy had their studio. “Johnsy” was familiar for Joanna. One was from Maine; the other from California. They had met at the  table d’hôte  of an Eighth street “Delmonico’s,” and found their tastes...
