Let there be light.

It's 7:30 pm on Tuesday. My room does not have a ceiling. I hear a click and a beam of light hits the rafters. It takes me a second to realize it is static. It is not a flashlight, but a light fixture.

We have electricity. I dash to the livingroom where KC is on the phone, and we flick on a light and rejoice.

"It's too bright in here" I say as I flip the switch back off.
