Friday Flash Fiction: "Get Your Ass to Mars"

In honor of:

• Ray "Martian Chronicles" Bradbury, who passed away this week;
• Father's Day, which happens next Sunday; and
• the original Total Recall (which may have less to do with the Philip K. Dick story than the upcoming remake, but nonetheless manifests a ridiculous charm all its own).

For the record, my father is still alive, and we have both been to the Grand Canyon. Together, even!
