When the lights go out.

I haven't paid my electricity bill in a while. I set up a payment plan hoping to have secured the required upfront payment of $60 by now. I'm not sure when it's going to happen, but I expect the power to go out eminently. It's part of life, these ebbs and flows. I can work in the dark if I have to. I don't have much choice.

They say it's always darkest before the dawn.
