The story starts at 7 am when the alarm
clock announces that there is a new day, then the house go though the day’s
drill, making breakfast, lunch, and dinner , playing music, reading, washing
the dishes, mowing the lawn, almost everything is done by the house. It even
reads a poem at nine-five and closes the light by itself.
At ten
o’clock the house got on fire accidentally when a tree crash into it. The house
tries to save itself, but eventually can’t do it and the house was burned to
the ground except one wall. The story does not tell when the fire burned out,
but we know by seven the fire was over and the house destroyed.
My guess
was that they fire burns really quickly and the fight was over really soon. The
author gives us a scene of the house standing in the middle of a ruined city,
with no more resident and occupants to show us that when humans become extinct,
life on earth will go on as usual, because eventually our structures and city
will disappear through time, and life on earth will go on as if nothing has
happened before. We do not feel anything even though the dinosaur was extinct,
and who knows, maybe there was once a superior civilization who lived on earth,
but the evidence of their existence might be lost through time .
