Would you spend all your hard-earned money and start crossing items off your bucket list? Would you do what makes you unexplainably happy? Or would you simply spend it with loved ones in the place you cherish most? Ray Bradbury’s short story, “The Last Night of the World” highlights American citizens’ fear of the world…
