In this episode, we discuss “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury. What can we learn from a story with no apparent characters? How can we establish a POV without characters? How does language introduce hidden personifications? How can we use these hidden metaphors to pump up our prose?
Alternate version: “August 2026: There Will Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury.
