For the first 20 minutes, everyone thought they were the epicentre of a small power outage that spread faster and farther at the speed of bad news. Sticking a head out the door finds out it is not just your store or your house. Pedestrians say it is not just your street or your block. Radio reveals it is not even just your city or your country. This is huge, and you're in it ... but the sun is shining. After there was no more light to read by and nobody left to phone, I went for a walk in the neighbourhood. Even though it probably wasn't safe, how could I miss seeing what the end of the world would look like? I could see the large moon, so many stars, satellites that I hadn't seen since Australia, and the best reddest Mars ever. The dark wasn't scary as I had thought, even though it was the darkest dark I will likely ever see. It simply made everything short-sighted.
