It was late, daylight was gone. I had just woke up from a bad dream and all I wanted was a glass of water. I went to the kitchen but there was no water, and no light either. I pressed the switches several times but nothing happened. "What?s wrong?" I thought. Mother was not in her room. I went back to my room and put on my pajama. The front door was opened so I went downstairs to the street. All of the apartments had their lights turned off and there was no light in the street either. There were no cars nor buses and as I was walking I saw some front doors opened in some houses. I didn't dare to enter one of those. I walked for about an hour till I got to downtown, but I found no one. It seemed as if everyone was gone. I entered a big department store and put some decent clothes on, then I climbed to the roof and realized that the whole city was dead. All I could hear was my own breathing. I went to the street again and walked back home. I waited without knowing what to do. Finally I stood up in front of the mirror and began shadowboxing in the dark.
