There will come soft rains

Author: Ray Bradbury
What will the world look like in the Year 2026? I think everything will look almost exactly the same as now, but with more modern buildings and maybe cooler computers.
Plot:
Time of Day and What is happening in the story?
7:00 am Time to get up
7:09 Breakfast time
8:01 Time to go to school and work
9:15 Time to clean
10:00 The sun came out and the house was alone in a city of ash
10:15 Garden sprinklers went off showing the silhouettes in paint of people on the sides of the burnt house
12:00 pm Mangled dog walked into the house and died
2:00 Mice picked up decay
2:15 Dog was gone
2:35 Bridge tables unfolded and drinks were made
4:30 Nursery walls glowed with pictures and sounds
5:00 Bath was filled with hot water
6:00 – 8:00 Dinner was made and cleaned up
9:00 Beds were warmed
9:05 Poem was randomly selected and read
Questions
where are all the people?
why was the city "glowing"?
is the story based off the poem?
