power outage

Everyone was going about their typical closing business. I was counting my drawer. The other cashier was sweeping. The baker was baking. When BAM! the lights went out. It’s never been so quiet. The whole plaza—parking lot, and every others store: black. The generators kicked in very quickly, but still, there is something about loosing power that makes you feel like a kid again. That made Katie (jokingly of course) call out for her daddy, that made Justin run out side, that made the only four customers left giggle like little girls, and Sam dance in the parking lot.
