Celebrity day.</p> + +<p>The city stretched. Empty +streets glistened from the bath of +a water truck. Dew-wet grass +winked at the fresh peeping sun, +like millions of shimmering diamonds. +A bird chirped. Another. +The city yawned.</p> + +<p>Rows of houses lay like square +ivory beads on patches of green +felt. A boy drove his bicycle down +the middle of an elm-bordered avenue, +whistling loudly, while tightly +rolled newspapers arced from his +hand and slapped against porches.</p> + +<p>Lights snapped on in a thousand +windows, shining yellowly against +the cool whiteness of dawn. Men +blinked and touched beard-stubbled +chins. Women moved sleepily +toward porcelain and chrome kitchens.</p> + +<p>A truck roared and garbage pails +rattled. There was a smell of sour +orange rinds and wet leaves and unfolding +flowers. Over this came the +smell of toasting bread and frying +bacon.</p> + +<p>Doors swung open, slippered feet +padded across porches and hands +groped for the rolled newspapers. +The air was stricken with the blaring +sound of transcribed music and +the excited voices of commercial +announcers. The doors swung shut +and the sounds were muted.</p> + +<p>A million people shifted and +stretched and scratched. The sun +rose above the horizon.</p> + +<p>Celebrity day.</p> + +<hr /> + +<p class="cap"><span class="dcap">Doors slammed</span> again, +and half-consumed cups of +coffee lay cooling behind. Children +wiped at sleepy eyes and mothers +swept crumbs, touching self-conscious +fingers at their own bed-ruffled +hair. Laborers and clerks and +lawyers and doctors strode down +sidewalks and climbed into automobiles +and busses and sleek-nosed elevated +trains. The city moved.</p> + +<p>To the center of the city, where +the tall buildings stretched to the +lighting sky, came the horde, like +thousands of ants toward a comb of +honey. Wheels sang and whined. +Horns blasted. Whistles blew.</p> + +<p>And waiting, strung above the +wide streets between the cold marquees +and the dead neon tubes, +were the banners and the flags and +the bunting.</p> + +<p>The air warmed and the sun +brightened. Voices chattered. Elbows +nudged. Mouths smiled, teeth +shone, and there was the sound of +laughter, rising over the pushing +throngs. The city was happy.</p> + +<p>The bunting dipped and the +banners fluttered and the flags +whipped. At the edge of the city, +the airport tightened itself. Waiting, +waiting for the silver and blue +rocket. The rocket of the Celebrity.</p> + +<p>A large hotel, towering above the +pulsing streets, began the quiver of +activity. As though a great electric +current had been run through its +cubes and shafts and hollows, the +hotel crackled. Desk clerks clicked +bells and bell boys hopped. Elevators +rose and fell. In the cellar, +wine bottles were dusted by quick, +nervous hands. In the kitchen, a +towering cake was frosted and decorated. +Orders cracked. Hands +flew and feet chattered against tile. +In one rich expansive suite a giant +hoop of multi-colored flowers was +placed in the center of a room.</p> + +<p>It was in the air. Laughter, awe, +worship, <i>excitement</i>!</p> + +<p>Ropes went up and stretched between +lamp posts. Blue-coated men +on horses began blocking streets. +Old women with wooden boxes, +children with flashing eyes, men in +rich suits and tattered suits began +filling the sidewalks.</p> + +<p>Curbs became lined with people. +Bars threw open doors and fresh +air met stale air. Men with fat +faces, thin faces, white faces, red +faces, twitching with the anticipation +of holiday freedom, gulped +jiggers of raw whiskey and shuddered +happily.</p> + +<p>Children giggled and yelled and +sprinted in crazy zig-zags. Men in +white caps hustled in front of the +lined curbs, shouting, carrying +their boxes of ice-cream. Men with +buttons, men with pennants, men +with balloons joined the shouting, +and the sound rose in the air and +the city smiled and shifted and its +heart pounded.</p> + +<p>The hotel whirred inside itself. +The airport tensed and searched the +sky.</p> + +<hr /> + +<p class="cap"><span class="dcap">Time moved</span> and the swelling +throngs jammed the sidewalks, +raising their strengthening +sound between the tall buildings. +Windows popped open and faces +beamed. Tentative showers of confetti +drifted down through the air.</p> + +<p>The city waited, its pulse thumping.</p> + +<p>The rocket was a black point in +the sky. It grew. White-suited men +scattered over the landing strip. +Photographers crouched. Bulbs +snapped into reflectors. Cameras +pointed.</p> + +<p>The rocket landed. A door +snapped open. Blue uniforms converged +and flash bulbs popped. +There were shouts and orders and +men running. Gates swung and +there was a blue-rimmed movement +to a black open car. Sirens +moaned, screamed. And the black +car was moving swiftly into the +city.</p> + +<p>Beneath the buildings, marching +bands in red and blue and yellow +uniforms stood assembled. Girls in +short skirts and tasseled hats spun +silver batons into the warm air. +Bare legs kicked. Black boots +flashed.</p> + +<p>The crowd swayed against the +ropes, and there was laughter and +sweating and squinting.</p> + +<p>The black car reached the heart +of the city. Sirens died. Rows of +men snapped to attention. Policemen +aligned their motorcycles.</p> + +<p>A baton shimmered high against +the sun and came down.</p> + +<p>A cymbal crashed. Drums +cracked. Music blared. And there +was a movement down the street.</p> + +<p>The black car rolled along, while +tape swept down from the buildings +in long swirling ribbons. There +was a snow of confetti. And from +the throats of the people came the +first roar. It grew, building, building +in volume, and the city thundered +its welcome to the man sitting +upon the back of the open car, +the small man who tipped his hat +and smiled and blinked behind his +glasses: Joseph S.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses.

Beat the drums! + Shout hosannas! Here he comes...._ + + +CELEBRITY + +By James McKimmey, Jr. + +Illustrated by PAUL ORBAN + + +June 19, 1978. Celebrity day. + +The city stretched. Empty streets glistened from the bath of a water +truck. Dew-wet grass winked at the fresh peeping sun, like millions of +shimmering diamonds. A bird chirped. Another. The city yawned. + +Rows of houses lay like square ivory beads on patches of green felt. A +boy drove his bicycle down the middle of an elm-bordered avenue, +whistling loudly, while tightly rolled newspapers arced from his hand +and slapped against porches. + +Lights snapped on in a thousand windows, shining yellowly against the +cool whiteness of dawn. Men blinked and touched beard-stubbled chins. +Women moved sleepily toward porcelain and chrome kitchens. + +A truck roared and garbage pails rattled. There was a smell of sour +orange rinds and wet leaves and unfolding flowers. Over this came the +smell of toasting bread and frying bacon. + +Doors swung open, slippered feet padded across porches and hands groped +for the rolled newspapers. The air was stricken with the blaring sound +of transcribed music and the excited voices of commercial announcers. +The doors swung shut and the sounds were muted. + +A million people shifted and stretched and scratched. The sun rose above +the horizon. + +Celebrity day. + + * * * * * + +Doors slammed again, and half-consumed cups of coffee lay cooling +behind. Children wiped at sleepy eyes and mothers swept crumbs, touching +self-conscious fingers at their own bed-ruffled hair. Laborers and +clerks and lawyers and doctors strode down sidewalks and climbed into +automobiles and busses and sleek-nosed elevated trains. The city moved. + +To the center of the city, where the tall buildings stretched to the +lighting sky, came the horde, like thousands of ants toward a comb of +honey. Wheels sang and whined. Horns blasted. Whistles blew. + +And waiting, strung above the wide streets between the cold marquees and +the dead neon tubes, were the banners and the flags and the bunting. + +The air warmed and the sun brightened. Voices chattered. Elbows nudged. +Mouths smiled, teeth shone, and there was the sound of laughter, rising +over the pushing throngs. The city was happy. + +The bunting dipped and the banners fluttered and the flags whipped. At +the edge of the city, the airport tightened itself. Waiting, waiting for +the silver and blue rocket. The rocket of the Celebrity. + +A large hotel, towering above the pulsing streets, began the quiver of +activity. As though a great electric current had been run through its +cubes and shafts and hollows, the hotel crackled. Desk clerks clicked +bells and bell boys hopped. Elevators rose and fell. In the cellar, wine +bottles were dusted by quick, nervous hands. In the kitchen, a towering +cake was frosted and decorated. Orders cracked. Hands flew and feet +chattered against tile. In one rich expansive suite a giant hoop of +multi-colored flowers was placed in the center of a room. + +It was in the air. Laughter, awe, worship, _excitement_! + +Ropes went up and stretched between lamp posts. Blue-coated men on +horses began blocking streets. Old women with wooden boxes, children +with flashing eyes, men in rich suits and tattered suits began filling +the sidewalks. + +Curbs became lined with people. Bars threw open doors and fresh air met +stale air. Men with fat faces, thin faces, white faces, red faces, +twitching with the anticipation of holiday freedom, gulped jiggers of +raw whiskey and shuddered happily. + +Children giggled and yelled and sprinted in crazy zig-zags. Men in white +caps hustled in front of the lined curbs, shouting, carrying their boxes +of ice-cream. Men with buttons, men with pennants, men with balloons +joined the shouting, and the sound rose in the air and the city smiled +and shifted and its heart pounded. + +The hotel whirred inside itself. The airport tensed and searched the +sky. + + * * * * * + +Time moved and the swelling throngs jammed the sidewalks, raising their +strengthening sound between the tall buildings. Windows popped open and +faces beamed. Tentative showers of confetti drifted down through the +air. + +The city waited, its pulse thumping. + +The rocket was a black point in the sky. It grew. White-suited men +scattered over the landing strip. Photographers crouched. Bulbs snapped +into reflectors. Cameras pointed. + +The rocket landed. A door snapped open. Blue uniforms converged and +flash bulbs popped. There were shouts and orders and men running. Gates +swung and there was a blue-rimmed movement to a black open car. Sirens +moaned, screamed. And the black car was moving swiftly into the city. + +Beneath the buildings, marching bands in red and blue and yellow +uniforms stood assembled. Girls in short skirts and tasseled hats spun +silver batons into the warm air. Bare legs kicked. Black boots flashed. + +The crowd swayed against the ropes, and there was laughter and sweating +and squinting. + +The black car reached the heart of the city. Sirens died. Rows of men +snapped to attention. Policemen aligned their motorcycles. + +A baton shimmered high against the sun and came down. + +A cymbal crashed. Drums cracked. Music blared. And there was a movement +down the street. + +The black car rolled along, while tape swept down from the buildings in +long swirling ribbons. There was a snow of confetti. And from the +throats of the people came the first roar. It grew, building, building +in volume, and the city thundered its welcome to the man sitting upon +the back of the open car, the small man who tipped his hat and smiled +and blinked behind his glasses: Joseph S. Stettison, B.A., B.S., M.S., +M.D., Ph.D., L.M. (Hon.), F.R.C.O.G. + + +THE END + + + + +Transcriber's Note: + + This etext was produced from _If Worlds of Science Fiction_ July + 1953.
