Oh! No...power cut!the heavy downpour brings in...
Darkness is all I'm inaccompanied byshadows casted by lightning along with the thunders roaring
I am terrifiednot being familiar with the cityas I recently moved in
Switching the phone's torch onI somehow find a candle
Half past 11There's a knock on my doorI startle, contemplating to open
and... the knock intensifiesGathering my fears togetherI walk up there and slightly open"Thank goodness! You are a human"
He chuckles...Shit I was loud!Clearing his throat, he asksIf his roommate by any chance left the keysat my place
I say no...
Breaking the awkward silenceI invite him inYes! A stranger-neighborShould I be worried!?
Can I use your phone?he interrupts, my series of thoughts!
There we stand in the balconySmoking a cigarette
Not terrified anymoreI gaze at our silhouettein the dim candle lightand the faintsound of the wind chimes
The night slips by...
