unavailable
A Pail of Air is a science fiction short story by Fritz Leiber which appeared in the December 1951 issue of Galaxy Magazine and was dramatized on the radio show X Minus One in March 1956.

The story is narrated by a ten-year-old boy living on Earth after it has become a rogue planet, having been torn away from the Sun by a passing "dark star".

The loss of solar heating has caused the Earth's atmosphere to freeze into thick layers of "snow".

The boy's father had worked with a group of other scientists to construct a large shelter, but the earthquakes accompanying the disaster had destroyed it and killed the others...

The story is collected in The Best of Fritz Leiber, Constellations, and Fritz Leiber: Selected Stories (2010).

Total Running Time (TRT): 31 min.
