Power Cut
We had a power cut yesterday. I was talking to my dad over the internet when all the lights went out and he went silent. The router had died of course. Everything was dark outside on the street, except the pub at the end of the street and the streetlights and houses far up the road.
Maybe twenty minutes later a supernova exploded in my face. I was lying on my back in the dark, talking on the mobile. My eyes had adjusted to pitch darkness, and I was looking straight at the ceiling light without realizing, when the power came back.
