A house without gravity could never stay intact. Ours struggled for two months before it fell apart. All that time the war raged on: sometimes silently, sometimes viciously. Until they had dropped all their bombs and radiation made the air so thick. I could no longer imagine it ever having been filled with anything light, like laughter. Or love.
