100 Words: Cold Inside and Out

It was 12 degrees this morning.  The power went off at 6:24 a.m.  We  bundled up in our quilts.  The TV was silent - the furnace was silent also.  By the light from outside, we read our books and waited.  My feet and nose got cold.

At 9:54 a.m., the lights came on...the furnace started.  The pipes won't freeze.

Now it's dusk - the picture outside my window is in black, white and shades of gray.  The air is cold - the flag barely moves.  There are gun shots...they hunt.  Be safe and run and hide.  Let the darkness protect you.
