Darkness Falls on the City

The city was plunged into darkness as the power went out. People were left scrambling in the streets, trying to find their way in the darkness. Cars were stopped in their tracks, and businesses were forced to close. The only light came from the moon and the stars, which were barely visible through the thick clouds.For some, the darkness was a source of fear. They were afraid of being mugged or attacked. Others were afraid of being lost in the dark. But for most, the darkness was simply a nuisance. They were inconvenienced by the lack of power, but they were able to find ways to get by.The power outage lasted for several hours. When it finally came back on, the city was relieved. People were able to go back to their homes and businesses, and the city returned to normal.But the darkness had left its mark. People were reminded of how vulnerable they were in the dark. They were also reminded of the importance of having a backup plan in case of a power outage.The darkness had passed, but its effects would linger for a long time.
