Chronological Order
The story indicates a sequence of events that had happened on August 4, 2060 when humans become extinct. The main events that took place thoughout the story are: The clock called for breakfast. In the kitchen, the oven let out a heavy sigh and injected perfectly made toasts, eggs, and coffees. Than, after sensing the dinning time had past, robots cleaned up the food which had never been touched. Those robots than cleaned up the spotless house. Just around noon, the family's dog who had fortunatly or unfortuantly survived the nuclear war wailed and the house let it in. It circled the house looking for signs of life, but found none. Finally, he laid down and died. After some hours of the dog's death, the house caught on fire. Though it did everything it could to save itself, it still got burnt to the ground and exploded into ashes. There will never be such a house again, because the originators had been long gone. What a pity that it took months to build a house, perhaps years to build one as great as this one, yet only seconds to destroy it. What the author was trying to indicate is sometimes humans gets to a certain point when they thought being greedy is an ok thing . This thought costed the entire human population's lives. Yet, humans 's inventions which had been made to obtain human uses lived on. Yet it won't last. The destruction of the house marked the complete extinction of the human kind. They simply dissapeared, forever. With no glories, no tributes, no commemeration, nothing. Nothing but a distance, sad memory.
