Wake Up

sgfle2026 — 2023-12-13 15:48:19 UTC

The house is a kind of robot. it operates on its own and is waking up everything that lives inside of it. It tells the date and what is going on that day.

Get Ready

The house makes breakfast. it's raining outside and nobody comes for breakfast or leaves the house. Food is thrown away and dishes are done.

Cleaning

Cleaning robots come out of the wall. Garden sprinklers are watering the lawn and garden while the sun is out. This house is one of the only ones left standing and there are silhouettes of people burned into the side of the house. a radioactive glow comes from the city.
