Here’s a depressing gem from my preteen years, All Summer in a Day. I was sick on a weekend afternoon and my mom had turned on what I believed was ABC and it was showing All Summer in a Day. It doesn’t matter what planet you’re on, kids are mean. If you think you have it bad in school just be glad that you’re not living on a planet where it rains constantly with the sun only making an appearance every 7 years and when it does show up you get locked inside a room while the other kids run and play outside.
My English class would read it a few months later and I mentioned seeing the short movie about it. This is something that stuck with me although I didn’t remember the name until I tried searching for it a few hours ago. Finding it quickly didn’t surprise me as much as that it was written by Ray Bradbury.
