Off

I flicked on the lights.
Or tried to at least.
Up and down up and down.
The lights over my head remained off.
Power outage?
No....I had seen the neightbors next door, they'd had their lights shining in their living room which meant--
I groaned. Leaning my head against the wall, letting my hand drop from the switch.
I'd forgotten the power bill.
Of all the things I needed to pay....I'd forgotten that.
And without a paycheck until next Friday....it looked like I was doomed to be in darkness for a while longer.
