Here's come my essay on "A Blackout".
As the skies slowly darkened, the neighbourhood was abuzz with the sounds of families preparing dinner in their respective kitchens. Helping to lay the table, John’s stomach was growling as the aroma from the food on the table beckoned him. Settling comfortably into their seats, the Lim family tucked into their meal eagerly.
As the skies slowly darkened, the neighbourhood was abuzz with the sounds of families preparing dinner in their respective kitchens. Helping to lay the table, John’s stomach was growling as the aroma from the food on the table beckoned him. Settling comfortably into their seats, the Lim family tucked into their meal eagerly.
Unexpectedly, the entire household was cloaked into darkness. Loud
yelps of shock and surprise from the residents resonated through the otherwise
quiet neighbourhood. Giving out a loud squeal, Sally almost
dropped her chopsticks to the ground. John, on the other hand, froze
into stunned silence with his eyes bulging like an owl. At that juncture, Mr Lim made a phone call to
his friend from his handphone with the sole purpose of checking if he was
experiencing the blackout in his home as well. As calm as a cat, Mrs Lim groped
around in the darkness, trying to locate the drawer which had contained the
candles and the box of matches.
Moments later, Mrs Lim returned with
the lighted candles. The children
cheered happily as the light from the candles offered comfort and
security. Following this, a light banter
started by Mr Lim helped John and Sally to relax as the family helped
themselves to their dinner which was fast turning cold.
Moments after the Lim family had finished
their meal, the entire house was bathed once again with the reassuring
brightness of the house lights. “Hooray, the lights are back!” exclaimed Sally excitedly as she clapped
her hands and pointed animatedly at the dining room light. Loud cheers of joy soon erupted around the
neighbourhood. Switching on the
television, the Lim family found that the blackout had been caused by a power
failure at one of the nearby generators.
