   There was thunder rippling off in the distance, leaving flits of light outlining every curve of the clouds before it reverberated against the bricked building. The dimmed lamp lit at her bed stand gave a brief flicker, only catching her attention for a moment before it buzzed quietly back to life. Unfortunately, the area they lived in's power lines had a knack for cutting out with even the gentlest of disrupts in weather. It only took a few minutes for the light outdoors to almost fully dissipate, covered now with a thick layer of black, cueing her to slip in from the window – though she still left it cracked slightly for the fresh storm's air.

   With a mug of hot chocolate burning her finger tips, she pulled the ceramic up to her ruby lips just as a threatening bound of thunder struck the air abruptly, crackling menacingly – and almost just as the lightning left the apartment alit in a bright white – the power gave a dying pulse before giving out completely. She stayed where she was for a moment, really she didn't mind the dark, it wasn't often she kept many lights on in the first place – but it certainly provided a few lonely nights when it did happen.

    She bit mindlessly at her lips, thoughts only seeming to stir a single name in her mouth.
