In wintertime I used to walk home in the dark. As soon as I got home I turned on all the lights in the apartment because I didn't like being by myself in the apartment. Pending My Mom’s return I started doing my homework. All at once the lights went out. Fear overcame me and I was shaking all over. Gropingly I tried to turn on the light in my bedroom. No light. My room remained in the dark. By turning my head towards the shade of my window I realized that all the city was blacked out. I could not stop crying and could hardly breath; and I cannot tell how much I was looking forward to my Mom’s return. It took ages for me and I was frightened to death. then, after a long moment everything flared up again, my room, the apartment and the city. At the same moment Mom arrived. I jumped into her arms and I told her what happened.
