Y'alright?

The Important Things

You look around, baffled and bemused.

Complete and utter darkness.

In front of you? Darkness.

Behind you? Darkness.

Inside you? Darkness.

Christ. Again. You’ve been here before, but it never gets any easier.

It’s times like these that you really wonder what your life has been. What wayward path has brought you to this point?

Could you have done things differently?

Course you could.

Should you have done things differently?

Who knows? No use wondering now is it?

All you know now, is how little you know. No idea what to do, where to turn.

You can’t even eat.

What did you do with yourself before all this? How did you even get through the day?

You could sleep, but you’ll have to wake.

You can’t just disappear, as much as it seems like everyone and everything around you seems to have done.

You lie down. Distraught.

Your limbs are weary and tired, but your mind is reeling too much for you to sleep.

Maybe everything’ll be alright in the morning. They say time fixes everything, right?

Maybe you’ll wake up and everything will be like it was before, and you won’t have to think about the answers to all the questions rushing through your head.

But then, a FLASH.

It’s over!

The power cut’s finished, the electricity’s back, so you can go on Facebook again and everything’s fine so K THX BAI.

I didn’t get a chance to look at the darkness inside during Saturday morning’s power cut. The burglar alarm started beeping in a panicky fashion once the electricity went, and we had no notion how to shut it up. God but t’was distracting.

Sweary : That’s what you get for caring about your home’s safety.
