Everything's black, like a foregone conclusion for dread. The lights have gone out all over the city, and for the first time in days I can see stars. Orion's Belt dips somewhere near the sea, and everything else is like a blanket of pin-pricks of shy light. The stars shine, like a madness. Is this also how it is when you die, you see the light at the end of a tunnel? I can smell burning from somewhere, but nothing stirs. And for the nth time since the day began I tell myself, like lullaby to a troubled child, Everything's all right. Everything's all right.
