    Will had two weeks left before his high school graduation, all four years he has been dedicated to school, sports, and making his family proud. He lived in a big city where he knew a lot of people, mostly from school or sporting events. Will did not go out a lot if it weren’t those two events he was attending and this was because of how strict his parents were, he was only allowed to go to certain people’s homes if approved, parties were a pain to ask about because they would ask endless questions, and sleeping over, he didn't even bother to ask anymore.

    The Night Light

    The city plunged into darkness. The computer in front of me went dark instantly. I heard generators coming to life until those were killed too.I looked through the window at the rest of the city. It was pitch-black except for the shine of the moon. People were gathering at balconies and opening windows.I called my sister and asked if she had faced a power cut too. She had.
