Blackout!


Crimson Jester

I have a newfound hatred for electrical storms and stairs... here's how the story goes (takes place between 10PM-12AM):

 

I was by myself at home, sitting on the computer, talking to Hak, and lurking in the shadows of BZP. I looked outside, and saw a ton of lightning. In my typical fashion, I ignored it. I kept conversing with Hak, until I noticed the lights starting to flicker. I knew the power was going. I tried to let him know, but bam! Just as I was about to send the message, power goes out, and I'm immersed in total darkness in the basement.

 

I slowly navigated my way through the basement, and to the stairs. Clambering up, I realized why stairs with turns suck after falling a time or two. Eventually, I made it into the upstairs living room, and got some candles. Once those were lit, I gathered some old issues of Official Xbox Magazine, and poured over them for two dark, boring hours.

 

Eventually, having picked every word clean off of at least 3 OXM issues, I decided to crawl into bed. I made my way down the stairs, and to my bedroom, my dog following at my feet.

 

Laying in bed for what seemed like ages, I couldn't fall asleep in the darkness (I usually fall asleep to the sound of South Park on TV). Then a light lit up, and I assumed it was a car driving by. Looking over, I noticed my clock was lit. I quickly jumped out of bed, and now I'm here, telling my story to you.

 

And ironically, the first song to play on iTunes when I get on, is Darkness by Disturbed.

 

Gah, well, enough of my epic tales. I've probably almost made your brains explode with suspense already. :P

 

Until next time, BZPower.

I had that happen to me. Except I had to use my phone as a flashlight until I found a real flashlight so I could find the candles.

 

It was fun. :P

I had to, silly. My phone's battery only lasts off the charger for a minute or so, and my flashlight was dying as well.

 

Besides, it was fun. :P

Hm.. the last time I was in a blackout was... during school. I was like YESSSS I CAN GO HOME AND PLAY VIDEO GAMES!!!!!

 

I got home, and remembered that my school and my house is on the same grid because I live like 2 blocks away from my school...

 

Yes... it was a depressing day for all.
