Journal 35: Chronological Order


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 .
