They

King
of
the
Hill
,
Top
of
the
Heap
,
Ruler
of
All
They
Surveyed
,
Unimpeachable
Monarchs
and
Presidents
,
trying
to
understand
what
it
meant
to
own
a
world
and
how
big
a
world
really
was
.
Night
came
quickly
in
the
thin
atmosphere
,
and
Dad
left
them
in
the
square
by
the
pulsing
fountain
,
went
down
to
the
boat
,
and
came
walking
back
carrying
a
stack
of
paper
in
his
big
hands
.
He
laid
the
papers
in
a
clutter
in
an
old
courtyard
and
set
them
afire
.

To
keep
warm
,
they
crouched
around
the
blaze
and
laughed
,
and
Timothy
saw
the
little
letters
leap
like
frightened
animals
when
the
flames
touched
and
engulfed
them
.
The
papers
crinkled
like
an
old
man
s
skin
,
and
the
cremation
surrounded
innumerable
words

Dad
had
insisted
on
bringing
these
papers
for
this
purpose
.
He
sat
there
and
fed
them
into
the
fire
,
one
by
one
,
with
satisfaction
,
and
told
his
children
what
it
all
meant
.
"
It
s
time
I
told
you
a
few
things
.
I
don
t
suppose
it
was
fair
,
keeping
so
much
from
you
.
I
don
t
know
if
you
ll
understand
,
but
I
have
to
talk
,
even
if
only
part
of
it
gets
over
to
you
.

burning
a
way

just

that
way
of

is
being
burned
clean
of

Forgive
me
if
I
talk
like
a
politician
.
I
am
,
after
all
,
a
former
state
governor
,
and
I
was
honest
and
they
hated
me
for
it

Life
on
Earth
never
settled
down
to
doing
anything
very
good
.
Science
ran
too
far
ahead
of
us
too
quickly
,
and
the
people
got
lost
in
a
mechanical
wilderness
,
like
children
making
over
pretty
things
,
gadgets
,
helicopters
,
rockets
;
emphasizing
the
wrong
items
,
emphasizing
machines
instead
of
how
to
run
the
machines
.
Wars
got
bigger
and
bigger
and
finally
killed
Earth
.
That
s
what
the
silent
radio
means

That
s
what
we
ran
away
from
