      This clip is what introduced me to this story.

      This adaptation is heavily modified, but I think it adds to the whole thing. Soviet artists had an uncanny talent for making everything that's unsettling even more so.

    I liked Ray Bradbury's thoughts on the internet when it first came into existence

        Eternal rains will come  
        We should say goodbye   
        And suffer on our own  
        As all our thoughts were wrong

    this version seems to be missing large sections compared to the other posted version, like how the mice throughly clean up the debris after the dog's entrance, the dog smelling food through the kitchen door and scratching at it, etc etc

      The original was published as a one page story. It was later reprinted in a longer format.

      It's set in November, not August, and another 27 years further in the future (at least the version currently linked to on the front page).
