𝓁𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝓈𝒽𝒾𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑔

i see light shining through the little space of the blinds
closer and closer i get to the window the light gets dimmer
dissolving into the darkness outside my window.
quickly, i roll the stick to open the blinds
desperately trying to catch the dissolving light.
and all i see is the darkness of night.
not a single source of light outside my window.
pitch black, not even the moon and the stars
i walk back to my bed and suddenly, i hear quarrels.
every single person in the world complaining forming a sound
like a sound formed in school classroom when the teacher goes out of the class for a few minutes.
i hear people asking, do you have signal?
i reach to the switch beside my bed
no electricity
i walk to my phone which i had thrown across the room
no internet
loud quarrel quiet
my room surrounded with silence of dead zone.
enervated, i sit down, tears running down my cheek
tears of joy, a relief even for some hours
pitch black, i lay on the ground like the world has stopped and has stopped just for me.
no care, no thoughts, dead silence…
