“I lay there, wondering why my eyes were open, when I noticed it was especially dark. And hot. I turned to look at my clock and there were no red numbers showing. My fan sat silent on my dresser, aimed at me but producing no breeze. “Oh, great,” I said out loud. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and took a moment to let my head clear before standing up. I used the bathroom in the darkness, then walked back into my bedroom to try to find some clothes. I pulled on whatever was close...st and made my way down the dark stairs. The clock in the living room is the only one in the house that doesn’t run on electricity, and I squinted at it. One AM. Good grief. I went down to the basement to check the fuse box, only bruising my shins twice as I felt my way through the house. Everything looked fine, but I snapped the breakers back and forth to make sure. Still nothing—no flickering lights or reassuring hums.MoreLessRead More Read Less
