“Here in Top Peake, we have been blessed with the foresight of our founders to have brought with them the very best technology they could locate.” Tressa found her stride and went on in a proud voice, “Our power umbrella has never needed to be recharged. It has never needed to be replaced. Our power has never run out.”
Just as Tressa uttered these words the entire Amphitheater went black. The audience gasped and then laughed thinking it was part of the story. Tressa turned around in the darkness trying to figure out why the lighting cues were wrong. She suddenly realized that all the town’s lights were out.
She could see up toward Whitewall and the entire mountainside was totally dark. There were no lights in the windows, no street lights illuminated. The stars overhead provided the only illumination in the theater. The realization crept over the audience in the Amphitheater as well.
Panic started to break out as people struggled to get out of the building. Families were being separated and young children started to cry. Tressa found herself alone on stage in the dark, with a roiling mass of people below her fighting for order. She was grabbed by the arm and pulled toward the backstage area.
She heard Ant say, “So much for Top Peake’s unbelievable power source. It always was pretty unbelievable, too. Let’s go find out what happened.” Tressa followed him and rushed out into the night.
Word of mouth is crucial for any author to succeed. If you enjoyed my book, I’d appreciate a short review to help others find my work. Thanks for your time and support!
