Early Writing: The Night of the Blackout (1979)


The Night of the Blackout
January 10, 1979

"One night when everything was dark and spooky we had a blackout. Many people got very hurt walking up and down stairs. Some even fell and got hurt very very bad. Finally the lights went on and the people got healed up just in time for the big hurricane.  All the people threw open their trapdoors. The wind was coming closer. Even the people could feel the big breeze. After the big wind was over,  they had never seen it again."
