Science Fiction Future
"There Will Come Soft Rains"
by Ray Bradbury
Ticktock, seven o'clock, time to get up, seven o'clock. The voice clock in the living room sent out the wake-up message, gently calling to the family to get up and begin their new day. A few minutes later, the automatic stove in the kitchen began the family breakfast. A soft rain was falling outside, so the weather box by the front door suggested that raincoats were necessary today.
But no family sounds come from the house. The house goes on talking to itself as if it were keeping itself company. Why doesn't anyone answer?
