'There Will Come Soft Rains' by Ray Bradbury is a haunting story set in a post-apocalyptic world where an automated house continues its daily routine despite the absence of humans who have been wiped out by a nuclear war. The house prepares meals, cleans, and even reads bedtime poetry, oblivious to the desolate surroundings and its non-existent occupants. The summary concludes with the house finally succumbing to a fire, extinguishing the last vestige of 'life' left on Earth. Bradbury expertly uses soft rains as a symbol of nature's resilient capacity to heal and regenerate after devastating man-made destruction.
