When i was in middle school i had a princple who knew ray bradbury and managed to get like 30 students a copy of ray bradbury's "frenhiet 451" with a signature from Bradbury himself... Its a prized possession of mine lol.
The dog reminded me of the house; they both survived the nuclear blast and both of their masters had perished during it. Then both did and were burned in the end.
It is 2014 and I still come back to listen to this story. Thank you for the reading MCP. Rest in peace Ray Bradbury. Rest in peace amongst the soft rains and the smell of the ground.
This mellow/nostalgia/Sci-fi type of pasta is so amazing. It's so descriptive and to the point. I was able picture everything that was being said, like a movie I guess. My favorite pasta so far. I can see this as a movie or short. Would love to see this as an animation, maybe directed by Tim Burton? I honestly see this story as a stop motion animation like Coraline, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Wallace & Gromit, etc. I'm just so obsessed with this type of genre
@@grizzlybearsd No, it's not just a pasta. It's a short story by Ray Bradbury which has been available to readers long before creepy pastas were even thought of. Bradbury is responsible for some of the best short stories I have ever heard in my life. Too bad that's a concept that you cannot comprehend.
my English class was reading along to this recording of the story. I recognized your voice immediately but couldn't remember your name till my friend pointed it out. great job on this, even though it's a relatively old video now I still find it a great telling of the story
It says: "Mrs. McClellan, which poem would you like this evening?" Mrs. McClellan. Not Mrs. McLennan. This reading was done very well. I also enjoy the reading by Leonard Nimoy.
It's hard for me to describe the way this chills me... But I've never felt such a mixture of sadness, amusement, and horror in all my life. RIP Ray Bradbury.
As the date gets closer, I can see this more as a premonition of what's to come, rather than a simple sci-fi story that I read casually in 1994 in English class...
Interesting to hear all the aspects of a 2026 smart house that have already come to exist by 2021 as I revisit this gem for the first time in over 40 years. Robot vacuums, computerized calendars/talking assistants like alexa, siri, etc. Charming that Bradbury imagined us still playing bridge over martinis, smoking cigars by the fire by this time. We don't worry about nuclear holocaust now the way we did then, having moved on to a not-so-imagined biological armageddon. Perhaps robots will vacuum one day for no one as millions of abandoned digital devices play creepypastas thanks to our perfection of Nicola Tesla's wireless power network...
Miss Murder- I agree with you. Some of my favorites include- The Fruit At The Bottom of the Bowl, Usher II, The Veldt, and, of course- A Sound of Thunder.
I'm always so proud of myself whenever I finish a good story, no matter what the length. Then I read or listen to some of the works of masters such as Bradbury. The way it's sutble yet does not drag on. The emotions it slowly feeds you is almost like pumping them into you through a small hospital IV drip. He's amazing. The twists and turns... this is what true writing is. And then I go back and delete my stories half the time knowing that it's nowhere near up to par. :(
Thanks for this tribute, Mr. CreepyPasta. Ray Bradbury has been a favorite author of mine since I was little, and this story is close to my heart. Truly lovely rendition.
In my English class we're reading a bunch of Bradbury's stories, so when my teach said we were reading this I screamed. And now I've introduced my 10th grade English teacher to the world that is Creepypasta.
I think my favorite part is when the narrator of the story essentially goes, as the fire blazed there was still one asshole robot reading poetry like nothing is happening. To be real, the entire story is amazing. I read it for a class but actively seek it out because of how soon it is set.
Ah, I haven't read this story in years. I think it's the first post-apocalyptic thing I ever read. Though I was really young at the time and didn't understand it very well. It's weird that I forgot about it until hearing you read it. I like how you did the robotic voice!
Yes! I found this months ago and just now I found the piano piece he used in the beginning. It's a little slowed down, but it's "Prelude No. 1 in C Major" by Bach.
We listened to this in my english class today, and the voice sounded super familiar, and I realized/thought it was MCP and it frickin was and im lowkey proud of myself for recognizing your voice lmao. I havent listened to you read anything since like,, 6/7 grade (im in 12th now)
A brief elaboration of this short story (WARNING SPOILERS): The story is about a lone but futuristic house that survived a nuclear attack. It's residents, now dead from the explosion (silhouettes are proof), the house continues to function itself. Eventually, without their residents to do their parts for them, the house destroys itself as a result of it's own functions, which causes it to burn down. Still, one last wall remains, as the house's AI slowly drifts away...
I still can't believe he died! D: I looked up to that man! I have Fahrenheit 451 all but memorized and I have all the Martian Chronicles on DVD, tape and all the books.! He lived a good long while though. How old was he? Anyone know? Rest in Peace Mr. Bradbury. I grew up reading your work, and I always learn something new when I pick up one of your books. You'll always have a place in my library and my heart. Say hi to Poe for me! >.
I wonder if the cheerful talking toaster from the sci fi comedy Red Dwarf is a reference to the talking clock from this story? Anyway, I always wanted to meet Ray Bradbury. Him and Carl Sagan. Those are two dream dinner guests that's for sure.
Ray Bradbury lived in my hometown.....Waukegan, illinois my favorite story was the 1 about the kids living on mars i remember reading letters he sent to our classroom......
We did his other book Fahrenheit 451 in class for a few weeks and I thought this author sounded like I knew him then I remembered this :3 I love this author
I remember reading this in 6th grade with my class. I was quite taken aback by the story and its contents, likely because most of the short stories we had to read in our textbooks throughout elementary school were boring, uninteresting as hell, and excruciating to sit through.
Side note: this one meant a lot to my grandma! She liked Bradbury more than I do! She actually got a couple of his books signed by him a long time ago. Like him, she never went to college either (well, not until about '83) she learned from libraries like he did.
Huzza! Tis not for-shadowing of our eminent demise, but an ode to our blazing technologic creativity and rate...but seriously the people should have ran in the house, it seemed to have made it just fine...
The only thing I don't get is why the animals would survive while the people didn't. Anyway, great story and reading. Ray Bradbury will be missed by us all. :)
I think you'd find that with a closer look this story actually paints the picture of a renaissance society made wonderful by technology. The destruction at the hands of admittedly another technology is a sad end to what was probably something of a utopia. Bradbury's message here, I would argue, is that we have to take care with to make sure our technological advancements are for the benefit of humanity on a global scale, and that the possibilities of technology are fantastic when well applied.
I just finished reading Fahrenheit 451 early last week. When I learned that Bradbury died so soon after I had finished reading his novel, I actually became quite upset. Rest In Peace, Ray Bradbury.
Baron Zemo I agree in that I do not like the way the story is done but there is definitely a story here and definitely a purpose to it obviously you must have missed that
This house reads poetry to a dead woman every night…
I never thought I would feel this kind of genuine sympathy for a building
There's a house referencing this story in Fallout 3.
Jane Doe the one with the radiation leaking in downtown eh?
Jane Doe I'm gonna look for it, where is it located?
no the creepypasta referenced the the game
Classified X It’s the Mclean family house. It’s a townhouse located in Georgetown, good luck finding it.
The story references fallout 3
When i was in middle school i had a princple who knew ray bradbury and managed to get like 30 students a copy of ray bradbury's "frenhiet 451" with a signature from Bradbury himself... Its a prized possession of mine lol.
arielbac0n I envy you
Now that he passed away, that is probably very rare to come by. You could sell it for a lot, but if I were you I wouldn’t.

There is an animated short, although it is in Russian, if that even matters to you. It's on RUclips
Then you should read anything by ray bradbury or john wyndham. Both amazing authors that write stories you feel that your in. Amazing really
I'd suggest "Something Wicked This Way Comes" by Bradbury. One of my favorites by him.
It's a pasta, period. 🙅♀️💅🏻

My favorite author... I was so devastated when he passed. Thank you for doing a reading of this story.
freaking love this story. so much meaning in a few pages.
I read this in class with his narration and when the teacher said "the narration by mrcreepypasta" everyone screamed and were omg I know him
It says: "Mrs. McClellan, which poem would you like this evening?"
Mrs. McClellan.
Not Mrs. McLennan.
This reading was done very well.

If I had a clock like that I would shoot it, telling me what to do every second, pfft
Your narration of this is still wonderful to hear, and still brings me to tears. Only 6 years until 2026 comes around, hope we'll be around by then. 😂
mmm.... yes. Russia checked the roster for doom dates and went "Ah, interesting"
As the date gets closer, I can see this more as a premonition of what's to come, rather than a simple sci-fi story that I read casually in 1994 in English class...
Just 3 years away, now...
2 years or less…
I read this story in Eng 3 back in 2010.
I remember when you first released this... it never got the recognition it deserved... :')
Why do I feel pity for the house more than I the dog?
Hm because you are insane?
Because unlike the Dog, it continues to go on unaware that anything bad had Happened.

Ray Bradbury was my fave since I was in high school - I don't think he ever wrote a story that wasn't incredible...
Miss Murder- I agree with you. Some of my favorites include- The Fruit At The Bottom of the Bowl, Usher II, The Veldt, and, of course- A Sound of Thunder.
I heard this with the same narration from Mr Creepypasta! LOL Like if you heard this in middle school!
MiDNiTE_FaNG I didn’t hear this in middle school, (I wish I did,) but I just find the fact that you did awesome and hilarious

This cool 🙋
this is amazing, you just made me realise how many alliteration and rhyme that story have
Holy crap, I remember this back in grade school. 10 years ago. :O
One of my favorite Ray Bradbury short stories.
2 years to go!
I think my favorite part is when the narrator of the story essentially goes, as the fire blazed there was still one asshole robot reading poetry like nothing is happening.
To be real, the entire story is amazing. I read it for a class but actively seek it out because of how soon it is set.
I read this short story in high school. It stayed with me for years. Beautifully heartbreaking.
Omg I heard Tamaki playing the piano! I like this one! I really like this one!
My favorite Ray Bradbury short story.
This story is always leaves me feeling so melancholy, no matter how many times I listen to it
I've always liked the way Ray Bradbury writes. It's kind of hypnotic and almost lyrical...
Ah, I haven't read this story in years. I think it's the first post-apocalyptic thing I ever read. Though I was really young at the time and didn't understand it very well. It's weird that I forgot about it until hearing you read it. I like how you did the robotic voice!
R.I.P Mr. Bradbury, I know of your works but have never had the pleasure of reading them; but this was a wonderful dystopian story
Well, twelve years until this is to be.

Now 6 years
It’s the final count down
I had to read and annotate There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury and the poem my Sara Teasdale which it is based off of. really cool story
This fills me with a feeling of emptiness for reasons I do not completely understand...
Maybe because a nuke went off and the world is dead
@@greatgallade lool
Ray Bradbury, forever one of the greatest authors
He has always been one of my favorite authors. He will be missed.
Great story, reminds me of Fallout.
Ethan Heisey there is a Easter egg in fallout 3 about it
+Slender Mam Yes, that Mr. Handy.
+Ethan Heisey Understandable... The new fallout 4 trailer with the dog reminded me of this aswell
kind of like in 4 where everyone went into the vault and the AI was left behind
Yes! I found this months ago and just now I found the piano piece he used in the beginning. It's a little slowed down, but it's "Prelude No. 1 in C Major" by Bach.
More Ray Bradbury stories please.
This is a whole new experience from reading them
Mr Creepypasta reading a short story/poem is not something I expected to hear today. [11:32 August 3, 2023]

We listened to this in my English class. It was quite strange, but interesting. We really do live in a small world...
Oh wow this story has been stuck in my head since highschool. Good read, thanks for doing this :) and RIP Ray Bradbury
My english class went over a lot of this mans stories, they were always fantastic. This one was my favorite
The original poem was by Sara Teasdale in 1918. I think he was inspired by it. But yeah, I had this in school too.
oh yeah, he got it. nevermind. lol.
I never felt so bad for a house as I do now.
We seem closer to this poem, more now than ever.

36 seconds into the story and already I want to cry waaaa...aaaaahh,... I love Ray Bradbury... I need a tissue 😥
I often teach this and I'm happy to have a great reading of it to share with my class. Thanks!
man i love this story. i read this in English class in 8th grade and i loved it even then. Ray Bradbury was a genius
i read this book, i can't think of anyone better to narrate it.
Read this my junior year of high school in my English 11 class. Still awesome, great reading choice in memory of his passing.
I wonder if the cheerful talking toaster from the sci fi comedy Red Dwarf is a reference to the talking clock from this story? Anyway, I always wanted to meet Ray Bradbury. Him and Carl Sagan. Those are two dream dinner guests that's for sure.
Me too. And Isaac Asimov.
I cry every time I read/listen to this
Oh my god, that was beautiful.

He's a very good Sci-fi author. He wrote Fahrenheit 451
We read this in class. Oh my god, if you read The Veldt by Ray Bradbury, I would explode. I loved that story.
Coincidentally, I just finished a study on Ray Bradbury. :)
Hey. I remember this one. We read it in our Sci fi/Fantasy unit in Creative Writing.
A little chilling to the bone. Never thought I'd feel bad for a house.

Like long form poetry. Not a story, no prose, no aim. A lesson in heavy description, adjective use.
No aim would be correct.

Welcome to Ray Bradbury. A lot of his short works can be misinterpreted as aimless with a surface analysis.
81 years minus one day.
Thanks for the video.
I remember reading "All Summer in a Day" a few years ago :)
Interesting story.
Rest in peace, Mr. Bradbury.
MrCreepyPasta should revamp this
This book is getting at the fact that we will destroy ourselves with nuclear weaponry. This is such a good story... I love it
I don't want to set the world on fire. I just want to start a flame in your heart....
oh wow! i have a book that has this story in it. your voice has the right peaceful feel for this story :)
One of my favorite authors; rest in peace Ray Bradbury.
it's hard to believe that this story was written in 1950...
Great story telling, it was a great story that i read in i think junior high, and hearing it read like that made it all the more better, good job
This was awesome
