The night was stifling hot and the air was so humid it had weight. No breeze stirred though all the bedroom windows were optimistically thrown open. Thunder rumbled in the distance, but did not bring cooling rain. Air conditioners had been rendered useless hours ago when the power grid slammed shut and would not re-open. The power outage also meant the night was black, black, black. No night light, no digital clock glow, no street lights and no neighbor's annoying motion floods. Blackness and silence.
