Little things
The motion detector kept going off in the middle of the night. Who or what would be in the backyard in the pitch dark? My beloved went to the back door but couldn’t see anything. He returned to bed. Minutes later, the alarm went off again. He went to see what had caused the commotion. Once…

Plugged in
It was pitch dark. Darker than usual. Something was different. And there was a nip in the air. Chillier than usual. That’s when we realized the power was off.
