Total Darkness

A couple of nights ago, Ben and I walked out of my parents' front door and into total darkness. Ben looked up and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh!" I froze and scanned the area. Adrenaline coursed through my body as I prepared to fight or flight.

"What?!" I yelled in a panicked voice.

"Look at the stars," he said. "They're amazing!"

Jeez, Louise. I quickly erased images of ferrel animals or hordes of birds or Walking Dead zombies eating us. What a re-lief.

We tilted our heads and stared at a blanket of twinkling lights that covered the sky.

"I forgot how many there are," Ben said. "I never noticed them in New York."

Easy to do in the hustle and bustle and bright lights of a big city.
