The light flickers wildly for a few seconds but it feels like it will go on forever. But it eventually does stop. And all is covered in Darkness.
The electricity is out
Downstairs on the table there is a flickering candle, throwing it's light around the room, casting strange shadows. It is int the "room" where we eat, in between the library and kitchen. I move to the "formal" dining room and watch through a large window nature's light show. There is no rain, only lightning. The kind of lightning that lights up the whole sky for a few moments, like a huge candle that is relit and snuffed out over and over again.
I decide to move up to my room to see, to be closer to the sky. Even though I really want to go outside and be with the trees, the lightning.
Up in my room, I unlock and push open a window. The wind pushes soft, strong gushes of air on my face. It smells of rain. I feels so good. I feel like I'm flying. I want to drink it all in.
It is so hot in my room. My tower. My cage.

The light is back.
i wish it wasn't...
