You awake to see nothing. The world you once saw is longer there for you to see. All you see is darkness. Darkness everywhere. You search around for that glimpse of light that once brought power to your world, that once spilled forth with visual splendor, but it is gone. Your light has run away.

So, you listen now, you hear your world instead of see it. You hear every click, every chirp, every ching ching, every car that ever goes by every house on your road. The noise soothes you , and it works as your new set of eyes.

Alas, what if you heard like this before the light was gone? What if, you listened all the time like you do now? What if you would've heard the signs telling you something bad was gonna happen? What if that car horn had gone off a little sooner? Would you have had time to stop? Didn't the screeching of the tires give you any indication what was happening? Were you listening?? Oh you were??? To the radio?? To your cellphone?? To anything?? To me??
Was it me talking to you? Is it my fault you were upset? Did I tell you to go? Oh....No....

The Light in your world is gone, but others still burns, but I still see your light, and it's as bright as it ever was.
