Power's Out!

This is the dark staircase I had to go up in order to get to my bedroom during the power outage.

I was utterly bored when I came home from school today. I was hoping to get to read. Oh no! Once I opened the front door I realized that something was wrong: the lights were off, no time was showing up on the oven, and my sister wasn't watching her favorite show. My grandma looked up from her magazine and told me in a matter-of-a-fact tone, "The power is out… as you see," I excitedly threw off my back pack and went into our dimly lit living room and set out to read to my heart's content until it got too dark!
