There was recently a power outage in my neighborhood. It was a big power outage. It started early in the morning, before the sun rose, and ended around midnight, lasting a total of 22 hours.

The worst part is when it got dark, because now I have to find something to do and there is no light or TV. So I'm walking around the house with candles lit in various parts and carrying a flashlight. Then I say to myself, "Fuck, I have to take a shit." So I take a candle into the bathroom. As I am taking my shit, I realize that I have to look at my shit just like I always do and every other person does. But the candle is not providing enough light for me to see clearly, so I get disappointed. I can't flush the toilet without looking at my shit. Then I quickly realize I have the flashlight in there with me. So I grab that and shine it between my legs so I can gaze in awe at my turds. After that, I was able to flush. I thanked God for the invention of flashlights, because without it, it just wouldn't have felt right to take a shit and flush it without looking at it. Hopefully there are no more major power outages, but if there is, I will have my trusty flashlight with me.
