Hey all.
I'm new to this board and i'm posting because i'm trying to get the name of an obscure science fiction story that I came across about 4 years ago. The author and title escape me, though i remember some basic elements of the story. I was really hoping someone here might be able to help.
It's a very short story as i remember, about a reporter from earth who is living on Mars. Martians are very much like earth people in this story except for one thing. Nothing on mars has a smell except for right before someone is going to die. then the sweet, ghastly, haunting beautiful smell of... Lillies, i think it was, permeates that person and everything around them.
It was a beautiful story and I would love to get ahold of it. if anyone knows abotu it i'd appreciate it a lot!
thank you so much.
