did... did something just happen? like, five minutes ago (currently 2:01 am EST)
cause I was just being on the internet, when I saw a flash of white light. Like someone had taken a photo with flash, or lightening. But my blinds are mostly closed, it’s definitely not raining out, and I’m very much the only one capable of taking a picture in the apartment (well, there’s my cat... but she’s sleeping in the kitchen).
So my heart starts pounding. Alarmed, I look outside. Has something happened? Did one of my stringed lights burn out? I grab a sweater and my winter boots, and step outside. Carefully walking around the large snowdrift in the middle of my balcony, I inspect my lights. None appear to be broken. Everything seems calm.
But I can feel my heart beating, the blood surging through my veins. ‘Something happened’, a corner of my brain says. The question is, where did it happen? Was it really, or just a figment of my head?
