I woke up. I was thirsty. My room was dark. I guess my mom turned off my night lamp. I touched but it was still dark. There was no electric. I waited. I could see now. I went to the kitchen and drank water. I went to bed again and slept. There was no electric when we woke up. My father always drinks a mug of coffee but he didn’t drink because coffee machine was working with electric. My mom didn’t toast bread because toaster was working with electric. How hard was life! Electric never came. Anybody didn’t explain and anybody didn’t learn its cause. Our world was dark. Only there was solar energy panels and wind energy plants on Earth but they were deficient. Factories weren’t working. Production almost stopped completely. The situation was worse day by day. We were going to school only mornings but the bell wasn’t ringing. One day we found a paper in front of the door. It was handwritten. It says: “Power cut is transitory. It is a problem about the world.” We waited. Months passed. Everywhere was so dirty and it was smelling disgusting. We couldn’t drive our cars because gas stations were close. We weren’t getting news. Stocks are over in the markets. We had to cut trees for warm up in winter. Some people died because of freezing cold. Many people had to leave their homes. We were living with our neighbors. I hear them when they’re talking: - I guess, there isn’t electric because of war. But ı hope, there isn’t like situation. If there is a war, Earth is going to more suffer. - You’re right. I was scaring now. Matter wasn’t only electric. People were angry. Everybody blamed eachother.They were fighting everyday. A rumor circulated:”Electric came somewhere.” We were furious. At the same time we were waiting with hope. We were on the brink of the war. We saw an object on the sky. It was like a small plane. Papers started to falling. Everybody took them, I took too. It says: “Dear people; You know we had to spent four months with no electric. You are angry but you are going to understandus. There is a cause. A meteor was closing to the Earth and it was so dangerous for us. The scientists needed more elecricity during the four months for prevent disaster. We had to cut the power. They used it. Our scientists prevent the meteor and they saved our planet.
