Here we go again! 100WCGU
Flame (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I am getting in quick this week as I’m off to hospital tomorrow and will probably be quite demented for a few days following the anaesthetic! Anyway, the prompt was “The flame flickered before……”
I love this game!
The flame flickered before it went out. This was bad news. No more matches and it was pitch black. What to do? Without the flame I couldn’t find anything. Without a match I couldn’t light the flame. Hours until dawn. Still, dark and silent. In that noisy way silence has when it is dark. I didn’t even have a torch.
Not that it would have made much difference if I did have a torch. No electricity. No electricity means no internet.
EEK!! Can you imagine life without the internet? I can’t.
Goodness me!
No 100 word challenge for one thing!!!

Loved it! No internet is surely a scary thought! 😀
NIcely done.
Thank you, having just been in hospital for a week, I was eternally grateful for modern technology to keep me in touch with the outside world!!! 😀
You just summed up my life living in India now. Powercuts were something to get used to. We’re soooo dependent on that electricity, aren’t we? And no internet???? I’d die.
Yes, possibly we used to cope with the power cuts better before we were all wired up together but now…..shudder!!!
No interent is worse than any horror story.
Very whimsical write …

I think we are all agreed on that one, then! 😀
Wishing you a speedy recovery and a true horror story in the dark. x
Thank you, all on the mend now and thanks for commenting 🙂
Clever use of the prompt. Love the idea of noisy dark!
From all the comments, I’m wondering if I am the only person who ‘hears’ the dark!! Thanks for the comment 🙂
A true horror story for our times!
Do you think there’s any mileage in it….screenplay? Film, maybe? lol, thank you for your comment
Life without the internet? Rather go without an oven!
ha ha – me too!!!
I think we all wander about lost without electricity these days. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
It’s scary how reliant we are on it really! Thank you 🙂
I too also liked the idea of noisy silence in the dark …. the world falls apart when we have no technology. Good luck at the hospital.
Sometimes the silence can be deafening! Thank you, all better now 🙂
I like the idea of noisy dark. Best of luck at the hospital.
I used to lie awake as a child listening to the silence. It always felt that, the quieter it was, the louder the silence was….
Haha, the fear that san technology brings! Very good take on the prompt.x
Thank you, sorry for the late reply! 🙂
