The night the lights went out

He works the night shift. It was daytime.
ReplyDeleteheather could of read by the moon light
ReplyDeleteAndrew, they were watching tv at night.
ReplyDeleteanonymous, I should have put something in saying the windows were curtained or something. But you're right. It could have been as simple as the moon was particularly bright that night and she could read by it.
What I was looking for: Heather was blind... she was reading a book by Braille.
I've got another answer...if they were in the far north, such as Norway, in the summer, then there could be enough daylight to read by except for in the 2 or 3 hours centered around midnight.
