RJ Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) The Bradbury short story Arkay brought up is titled "There Will Come Soft Rains". I read it in a schoolbook-type short story collection called "Something Strange" (Macmillan gateway English) I think one of my older brothers took from school years back. There WERE humans in the story, or rather their silhouettes, on the outside wall of the house, imprinted there which suggested a nuclear flash or explosion. IIRC a dog comes into the entryway but eventually dies. Had lots of weird & creepy short stories from several scifi & other authors. One was called "Zero Hour", where the neighborhood kids rise up against the adults (unknown to one mom until it's too late) & another where a kid is pretending the black, red & yellow carpet in his house is dangerous to cross- red is lava, & black is snakes, & he can only step on the yellow. It's a really good book, I should track it down again. Edited January 19, 2016 by RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 So doing some searching it's available on Amazon used for around $12 & up. Theres a PDF online but it makes you take a survey & wants your personal info. & Bradbury wrote the "Zero Hour" story too. I think Roald Dahl wrote the one about the kid & the carpet.

Many service robots continue their duty even though everyone around them is long gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I haven't even gotten to the Star Raiders portion of the show yet, but really loved the Ray Bradbury, Walter Koenig, and homebrew crash discussions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1500 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I like the Triumph TR-7 reference. Wish I had a TR-8. Would trade my Spitfire in for one any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
