Le Zombie, v. 4, issue 1, whole no. 36, January 1941

Page 9

(In Old L.A. - cont.)

Freehafer dragged out his mimeograph and immediately runs off a four-page eye-witness description of the occurance, complete with diagrams. Freehafer was so inspired that he did not first prepare a dummy.

Bradbury returns, accompanied by an unknown author-friend, and the two of them commence at once to prepare a dramatized script of the event .... while awaiting the arrival of:

Walt Daughtry who dashes in with is portable electric recorder and a large supply of records. The Ackerman, Bradbury and the unknown - friend re-enact the entire drama, complete to the scrapiing of the pebble. Bradbury's unknown friend was cast as the pebble. Daugherty then makes twenty five records and mails them to twenty five famous fans about the country.

Ackerman then shooes everyone out of the room, and after locking the door, carefully notes the entire story in his diary. He retires, to dream of his meeting with the old man in he fog, and the WORD.
