I woke to what sounded like a computer shutting down, broadcasted on a megaphone. I could hear the gears slow down and the fans grow weak until the normal daily buzz was a deep, slow grunt, and then...silence. I sat up in my bed, and among neighboring columns and rows of apartment windows, I found no light, no people, no signs of life. Our society was in a state of darkness.
When I woke up for real, it was to this same scene, except I could spot the emergency light in the club room downstairs. I was relieved that it wasn't real. For now.
