there will be soft rain

Ah, the post apocalyptic tale. Not even the standard, what would humans do in the apocalypse, but rather one of... what happens to everything else? This ONE house survived by sheer luck, and it was automated for who knows how long. It was eerie just how much it was taking care of itself... and ironically the one thing that killed it was the only other survivor of the bombs, the dog. When the dog died, it triggered the chain of events that lead to the house's destruction. Even when something survives the apocalypse, it still has an ending. Something as automated and self sufficient as the house still died eventually.

All eventually rots away and fades, and that is a fact of life one must accept. Humanity appeared to have already done so at this point, so it was only a matter of time before the machinery they left behind did as well.
