Poem

Why did all the lights go out?  There’s not even stars or a moon in the night sky!  I 
have never witnessed a darker night before.  I had the sensation of being blind for 
the first time in my life.  This was total darkness that had enveloped me.
   I had my girlfriend’s hand and tried to hold onto it as much as I could.  She could 
no longer stand or walk.  Somehow, I pulled her along almost effortlessly as if she 
had no mass or weight of her own.  I said to her, “Don’t worry, I have a hold of you 
and I won’t let you go”.  However, she emitted no response to my words.  I had her 
hand in mine, but it was as if she was not with me.  Did the rest of her just vanish 
into nothingness?
   Darkness and silence; what an unsettling combination this was!  My situation and 
surroundings filled me with ambivalence and consternation.  Suddenly, I heard a 
faint and steady humming noise emanating from something distant.  From out of the 
houses on the street came other people dressed in white.  I called out to them, but 
none appeared to hear me or be able to respond.  Each individual seemed to be 
headed in the same direction.  Blindly, they all walked toward what must have been 
the source of the humming sound.  I still had my girlfriend’s hand, but no trace of 
anything else was with me.
   Then I could see the people in front of me just dropping out of sight as if they 
were falling off a cliff.  I tried to turn around and go back the other way, but the 
ones behind me pushed me to go forward.  Any attempt to stand and hold my 
ground was fruitless as these strangers kept pushing me.  I then felt myself falling.  
When I awoke, I found myself on the floor of my bedroom.  My girlfriend was there 
telling me to stop snoring.
