Writer's Block: Lights Out  
Hello people!

All it takes is a blackout to realize how much we rely on electricity. What's your most memorable story from a power outage?

Two instances come to mind. The first happened not too long ago...maybe a month? It was about 1:00 in the morning and we had all stayed up, just cuz we felt like it. We were saying good night to mom and dad when the power just suddenly went out. I can't sleep without some kind of light and my fan on, so I wasn't going to bed. The power was out for a good ten minutes.

The only reason that came to mind is cuz it happened so recently. The second instance I can think of is when I was completely alone in the house. It was about 9:00 at night, and it was raining out. It was dark, so I don't think it was summer, and I dunno where Nick was, but teh rents had gone to the store and gotten dinner. I was just hanging out, watching TV.

A commercial came on for a movie that I thought was particularly scary-looking. I don't recall which one (this was, like, two or three years ago), but it scared me. Ya know how on scary movie ads, they always have whatever monster is killing people pop out at the viewer and scare the fuck out of you? Well, just as the monster leapt at the screen, the power went out.

I was alone, in the dark, after just having seen an incredibly scary commercial. I was literally petrified, I could not move. I sat there, actually holding my breath, for about ten seconds, which is when the power came back on, lol. It was short and quick but it was so fucking scary. Yeah, yeah, I'm a wuss, you should all know that by now.
