Rampage at Sunlight

Nothing has ever changed about us; the loss of electricity just upgraded our cruelty and erased our humanity. We'd been killing each other for centuries. This time around though, the only thing that is different is our dark nature illuminated more—the savagery and the fear of the unknown future which blinded our eyes and minds to see that we had been in the dark ages before. I guess we’ve been so comfortable in our warm-canopies and forgotten how to deal with a bit of discomfort for a day, and find out a solution, yet make this as the excuse to eat each other like scavengers.

The street corners are dark, pitch-bleak to be precise. I can barely see what’s in front of me. I pretend to gaze through the window while hunkered down in the basement but all I hear is disturbing noises and painful screams. I stay silent until the sunlight comes out. That's my way of surviving one day at a time.

I don’t know what tomorrow holds for me but for now, I am much safer in my basement. Only here I can at least breathe the fire of fear with my open eyes, waiting for my turn to be extinct when the darkness takes over. Until then, I’d hide here and wittiness the loss of power bring out more of the darkness in humanity.
