Darkness Falls

As my world burned around me, I lay in bed staring at the ceiling, focused on a crack I always said I'd fix but never did. There would be so many of those unfinished things now - the words I didn't say, the trips I didn't take, the dreams I failed to chase. I took stock of my life like this for three more days before the power grid failed and there was no more time to think of regrets, only survival.
