Day 220 Lights Out

August 14, 2015
Day 220

We are sitting around a golden fire blazing in an impressive fire pit with the lake in front of us and stately trees framing out the view. The lights from the homes across the lake reflecting in the water are mesmerizing and haunting all at the same time. Then it ends. From the vacation home there is no light streaming out of the massive windows. We begin to realize it is not just our home that lost power but every home on the lake. Why? What happened?

The reasons might be numerous or possibly just one glaring problem. Our imaginations create our very own horror and terror flick. We will sit around the fire longer than we had intended. More logs are put in the golden flames. We laugh, we pop jiffy pop corn and tomorrow we will leave with another warm memory.

We still do not know why the lights are off, but right now, we do not need to know why. We have one another.

I used my hotspot on my phone to complete this post.
