The kitchen was dark and cold, electricity gone again, the price I have to pay for living far from a town, ought to live in suburbia with streetlights that chase antisocial darkness under bushes and at the bottom of the garden where crawly things thrives in a compost heap. Opened a drawer to find candlelight I needed to find the oil lamp and was bitten by a knife, then I remembered that I had left it on the top shelf to better remember…Froze, heard a knock on the door and things that slithered on the floor, I wasn’t going to answer that knock and waited for another one. The pale moon came to my rescue gave me a secret kiss of comfort the room was clear except for a rat that kept making love to my left big toe, embarrassed scuttled away when its amorous advances wasn’t appreciated. When I lit the oil lamp the electricity came back on, put the lamp on the top shelf to better remember next time. Wondered what would happen if electricity disappeared altogether and night really would be night again, not like now where I can sit in a midnight park and read the evening paper.
