The Illustrated Man: Entry 6

Quote:
"And they all had dreamed?"
"All of them. The same dream, with no difference."
"Do you believe in it?"
"Yes. I've never been more certain."
"And when will it stop? The world, I mean."
"Sometime during the night for us, and then as the night goes on around the world, that'll go too. It'll take twenty-four hours for it all to go."

Pg. 92

Comment:
(E) In this dialogue of a short story, a married couple is talking about how the world is going to end. I really liked this story because it was mysterious and cute (at the end), but it was also a cliff-hanger. I don't know if the world really did end or not. This dialogue shows that many people had the same dream as the husband of the world ending. It's really phenomenal how one person can have the same dream as many others. That'd be interesting if that actually happened, the dream thing not the world ending.
