Amadeus Fang sat by his window, reading the newest chapter of his book. The sun was setting, wind howling. As he finished the chapter, he felt a slight chill. He got up from his bedside and moved onto his nighttime routine. A slight bit across the way, just a few blocks down, a boy, Pluto Faun was combing his hair back, warm and wet after a shower. Once finished, he changed into a warm pajama set. As the night came to a cool end, so did the lights within their small town. One by one, each member of each household drifting into a vulnerable sleep. All but one. Amadeus' warm light stayed untouched, its luminescence trembling, the lightbulb was but a figment of itself, that would flicker off if left on a moment longer. A half-assed attempt at sanity. Amadeus simply stood, staring at the hopeless attempts, like a desperate suicidal teenager, feeling undesirable in society's eyes. Amadeus sighed. "I need to get that fixed.." he mentioned as his gaze lingered. "I'll buy lightbulbs tomorrow, no good in trying to go to the store right now." As he finally flicked off the light switch, laying it to rest.
