"Protect the house." Those were the last words my master left behind. The contract ended, the family departed, and the times kept changing. Even so, the AI continues to obey its orders—repairing leaks, watching over the cherry tree in the garden, recording the empty house. Ten years. Fifty years. A hundred years. At the end of a long house-sitting, a single visitor appears. A quiet science-fiction short story about a place to return to and memories passed down.
