Is this what the future will be like? All the little knick-knacks, books and other little chotskies that we all save, and display will be gone. In this dining room so clean and bare there is a mystery there. The owners say there is no mystery with a smile on their faces. For if you look around shouldn't the table be set for, I thought, formal dining rooms always had the table set, as if to show off all the many treasured dishes one likes to show off right down to the placement of the silverware.
There is a feeling to this room that it's been cleaned to the bare bones for what is this family trying to hide? Could it be that they have stolen what they have or has there been a murder here at some time, and they do not want anyone to know. If one would call CSI and run traces on the floor who knows what they may find. There could be blood in the dark patterns on the floor and smudges on those doors to the side, and by the way what is behind those doors? A secret room that could hide their stash of materials.
Could this be a dining room of past dealings from history that has been well-covered up over the years with having been redone or is it where current mob organizations come and plan whatever they may need done personally and who knows professionally. It is a room that is bright and sedate and that could throw people off of the real reason for this dining room of the future maybe. Who knows maybe the owners just like the open feel of a room like this, but to me it is sterile and a bit formal in a contemporary style for dining rooms are supposed to be cozy and comfortable to instill conversation and enjoy one's meals and this one does not, and why does it have that sterile feel?

The Backyard
Outside in the backyard there were always wildflowers growing everywhere. You could even have seen rabbits, squirrels and birds of all kinds. But, one day that started out being a beautiful, sunny day turned out to be a day that nobody ever expected to happen. The sky turned an awful dark gray almost black, but they thought a tornado was approaching but none of them heard the tell-tale sign of a roaring train. As quick as the dark sky appeared it disappeared and the sun came back out, but it also seemed different for now it was blistering hot, and the humidity was unbearable.

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.

A story that promotes critical thinking and observation.
Well-wrought, Mark! I love this rumination over the cleanliness of a dining room. Those of us who toil in factories have been known to remark that the unsoiled worker is only so because he does not work, but cheats his way through the day at the expense of others! Of course, here I'm saying it the polite way!
Not mine idea of future I like my rooms look lived in and well used lol I hate a minimalistic home lol My books and Crystals are me ♦️♦️♦️
