"August 2026: There Will Come Soft Rains"

I found the short story very captivating. Although you know that the outside world is gone you wish the whole time for someone to come in to the house, for a life to be made better by what this structure is doing. I got excited about the dog, but was quickly disappointed at the idea that he was not needed by the house, only that the dog had a need. The fragility of life is no match for that of the mechanical, but, there is no use for the mechanical without life. I now realize the object of the class to create things that are operable with human interaction, it is inspiring really.
