I was already a depressed kid. But the story hit different. Most kids stories have happy endings, and Ray Bradbury was probably the first author I read that had more thought provoking stories.

Same here. Bradbury was always a little darker and more horror oriented than I usually liked. Growing up in the 60s and 70s, this one was a little too possible.
