FRO 2012: BWA

It’s so dark. Pitch black dark. I can’t see anything, not even the shape of my computer I was on just a minute ago. Every ray of light vanished in that single moment. Is this how the blind people see this world. Facing the same darkness 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, throughout their entire life. Where is my phone? In my pocket? No. On the desk? No. Oh, it’s right next to me on the bed. 8:45. 20%. No Service. Oh god, I forgot to charge my phone! 20% How long will this last, a hour at the most. Why is this happening to us? Why does Hurricane Sandy has to hit the east coast? Let’s see, I bought bread, water, can food. Hold it, no flash light or candle. Oh my God! Why am I so dumb. No electricity, no service, 20 percent battery, 8:45, what am I going to do for the next few hours? Is this how life is like before the invention of light bulb? What do they do between sunset and bedtime? Sleep? That sounds like a great idea. Maybe I’ll just go to bed now and the electricity will come back when I wake up. Well, I guess that is the only thing I can do.
