Night Meeting (August 2002)
First appeared in The Martian Chronicles.
This story begins with a conversation between an old man and a young traveler, Tomas Gomez. The older man explains that he came to Mars because he appreciates the new and novel. Even everyday things have become amazing to him once again. He has returned full circle to his childhood. Later, Tomas encounters a Martian. Each can see the Mars he is accustomed to. The young man sees ruins where the Martian sees a thriving city. Neither knows if he precedes the other in time, but Bradbury makes the point that any one civilization is ultimately fleeting.
