I normally use Ray Bradbury's "There Will Come Soft Rains," but I needed a "back-up" story and just happened to come across Benét's story online. I found it quite interesting, both as a model for later post-apocalyptic fiction and because it involves a pre-nuclear apocalypse.JBMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13915780514486101083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-22788923313270846202011-05-30T17:22:28.390-04:002011-05-30T17:22:28.390-04:00thanks for posting this!
