The stupid life I have

Shut out

When the Power in the whole city goes off and no one knows why, there are different reactions to the situation. Some will scream and cry in fear of what just happened. Some will just continue there life because they don't worry or because they know they have been through worse. And some, but just some will stand there, or sit there in silence and be glad that it is dark.
This way they can feel everything they want, because they know no one would judge them. Because the Power went out and all they were expected to do is to wait and sit tight until the power goes back on.

All those people in that city are shut out from the world for a bit of time. Not so much time that something drastic would happen, atleast not usually. But when you're shut out longer than just a few hours, your heartbeat is starting to race with every Minute that you don't hear anything, that you don't know what is going on.
And when, with a power shut down it takes a few weeks before you really start to go crazy, with a shut out from people it takes about five days.

In the beginning you don't even really relize that you're alone. You're on your phone the majority of time or just enjoy the silence and space you suddenly have. But then you start to hear it, you start to hear things that can't be there, because your alone. You start to recognise things that slowly but shurly drive you insane. And at the end of those five days, all you want to do is bang your head against a wall, harder and harder.

And what you might didn't know or I hope you never experienced is, that when your with just a handfull of people that drive you insane as is those five days, will seam like an enternity. And after them, you don't just want to bang your head against a wall, you will want to break through it and feel the peaces in your scul and brain.
Or you will snap before that, take a knife. And what you will do with that, is what you actually want to do to the people that have sourroundet you for those five days.
