Lack of Light

Something was different about the atmosphere. The disturbing noise I heard, was pushed to the back of my head. I was more interested in what had physically change around me. "Winter Winds" kept playing on normally, my computer screen was no different than before, then I looked at my book. I couldn't see a single word! The whole room was dark except the light illuminating from the contents of my computer screen. No more did my alarm clock read 9:04. The power had gone out.

Usually when the power goes out, it comes right back on. The darkness just stayed. We got out candles and flashlights to see. Needless to say, I finished my homework with a flashlight hanging from my ceiling.

Finally the electrical company came to the rescue. 10:35, the power was restored. A fuse, or transformer's circuit had broke. Awhile after the power had been on, there was surprisingly a knock on the door. The power cord which would fix the power for others in the neighborhood whose lights were still out, was conveniently in our backyard. Who would have guessed.

The crane was brought through the back gate and they began to dig. Eleven o'clock soon became midnight. Since I had school tomorrow (and still some homework to be done), I went off to bed hoping to get some sleep over that immense sound of digging.
