307 Entries for “blackout”

  1. The blackout started suddenly, as blackouts do, but it only affected half of the city. So the girls were surprised to get a call on one cell phone from a friend a few blocks away asking to come over to wait out the blackout. Surprise company can be pleasant, sometimes, and it’s nice to be able to help out a friend.

  5. The city is dark, the streets quiet as everyone huddles in their homes. The city, normally so noisy, so lively, has become a graveyard.

    But above. Oh above the city, it is a far different story. The air hums, intense with the sound of a hundred motors thrumming through the night sky.

  10. When you hit your head you may blackout. It is possible that is you drink too much it can also cause you to blackout. The only time I’ve experienced a blackout was when I was playing as a child and trying to see how long I could hold my breath. I know it wasn’t safe to play like that, but everytime I tried it I would eventually blackout & become conscious again within a few short seconds. It had a very weird feeling to it.

  11. My mind blacks out as my soul reaches a new depth. I thought it was all gone, I thought there was nothing left of me to give. I thought all was black, but it is in the darkest of nights that we can most easily see the light. The light that teaches me how to see.

  12. The lights went out. She couldn’t see her own plams in the inky feld around her. The darkness pressed on her eyes, causing her brain to fumble for anything to latch onto, any scrap of light, but there was none. Almost tangible, she reached out and tried to feel, but all that met her hands was empty air.

  13. head explodes, need a drink, about to puke in the kitchen sink. Don’t want to find out (dum-diddy-dum-diddy-dum), just want to cut out.

  14. dark night everything was haunting about that night, so gloom…like the shadows would swallow you whole..all in one shadowy mouth of death. then it happened…he appeared before me. And I Knew I was Dead.

  15. Its a blackout. The sky darkened as if it harkened the arrival of the abismal scene of the lucid absence of electricity from our citys. We all had to rely on nature and on our own sources, I guess you never relize how much you rely on machines an electricity until you are without it, really makes you think about whos really in control.

  16. there was a dark and dank place that Gerald used to go and hangout. there wasnt very many places that he could go to nowadays because of his addiction, he like many addicts needed a place to go when they blacked out.

  17. it was totally my dark, i couldnt see a thing. my little sister, totally terrified held on to me like some cherished treasure. suddenly, i heard a knock. who on earth would come visit during a blackout? suddenly, my thoughts began to think wry. maybe…just maybe, it was more than a blackout. maybe it was something else all together…

  18. the room was completely dark when she woke up. She couldn’t think of why. She looked toward her blacked out windows and smiled. She pinned blankets over them so no light would show through. But she always had the overheads on, even while she slept. She looked up toward the dead light bulb and wondered how long ago it went out.

  20. In times of desperation…we often feel we have a blackout of the soul. A time of complete darkness in which we cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. Is the light still there? Will we be forever lost in a “blackout” of life? Of happiness? Of love?

  22. in the dungeon of silly nightmares we claimed to be true. Only in indignation could my insides become mushy.

  23. I would never want to experience a blackout it sounds scary and crazy. I think of blackout curtains, like during WW2. That must have been an awful experience. I can’t imagine living every moment in fear, like those during the war. Even though we are supposedly at war with Iraq I don’t feel like we are.

  26. The black out of NY, 2004 (?) was a surreal time. It was my last day of work, and I was training my replacement, when the computer died. Then we looked around and realized the building was out. Then we found out the block was out. Thoughts of 9/11 flashed through our minds. But we were okay.

  27. The lights had gone. The noise that had been drifting down the dark alleys had begun to dissipate. All along the outer banks of the Tames people were beginning to turn in for the night. It was the daily blackout. The daily time of fear.

  28. darkness grips me

  29. i stare at the screen, there is nothing at all that i can recall. no past and no future. all i see is the screen in infinitesmal detail, the pixels, the speck of duct, the disjointed letters..

  34. It’s black out. The night has fallen, but I can still see a bit of the sun’s rays in the distance. It’s a beautiful night to be out. The moon is hidden behind the pines, but your face lights up enough for the both of you.

  35. Blackout is the one way which all men can see beyond the edge where reality unravels and the strands sail away forever.

  36. I was looking at the starts how beautiful they were. Always shining giving light and hope , but not tonight, tonight was different. There was a planet wide eclipse everyone everywhere dark. A complete blackout.

  37. When its dark, and when its light, there is no excuse other then what is in my hand for everything to become quiet and everything to die. That is when I blackout.

  38. I scream
    and in the darkness
    my shouts go unanswered
    as i fall
    on my face
    in this place where even light
    is afraid
    to show it’s face
    and i am ashamed
    of my timidness
    to charge head on
    into that foreboding future

    by chinny on 04.04.2009

  40. drunk and stoned, stumbling through a forest, familiar, but a challenge. she’s gonna be alright. tomorrow. waking up to the tinge of her stomach. to the grinding of a body expelling, stupor.
