It is the year 3000, i'm hover boarding when, suddenly i fall, spinning, somersaulting, rolling, when BAM! I hit the ground. Like alwase i land on my feet but this time when i hit the ground, it hurts. I try look around, its dark, which was very unusual. Now when i say dark i mean black like you cant see any thing, but that's to be expected since we lived underground, but not just me, its a whole city, and the power is out. People were dashing around screaming like chickens when their heads are cut off. Then, the power comes back, and we're all fine. This isn't the first time this happened but it was one of the longest ones we've had, after all, ten minutes of complete darkness is a rather long time.

After the power comes back on i'm hover boarding home when my moms friend Maurice stops me, and in her jersey shore Italian accent she goes on a rant about her hair and multicolored sweat suits. I just sat there as she ranted completely zoning out and then the power went out, again.

it was like this for a few days, the power going out then coming back on. I stay in my home so i don't get lost. We start to run out of food, but the power still flickers. I go anyway, and get lost temporarily. Part of me wants to raid the store, it's so apocalyptic. it was almost like we were under martial law, except there there aren't any police, because they trust our judgement and so do we. I go home to my mother who was talking to Marge, her other best friend, and I heard something that sounded like Maurice's story with the multicolored sweatsuit, then she is interrupted, because the power goes out. Later the power outages stop, and we all go back to normal. That meant school for me and work for my mother but really it all seemed boring to me. Little did I know that it was the call before the storm.
