Lights Out with No Good-Night

Anything can happen in a flash.

In a flash, a vibrant home becomes a hollow tomb.

In a flash, a lively family becomes three distant strangers.

In a flash, a happy man is on the ground surrounded by a pool of crimson blood.

In a flash, a loving dog is stuffed in the mailbox, fur and skin bursting out of the cracks.

In a flash, an adoring wife and mother falls to her knees, crying over the body impaled in a van.

In a flash, an obedient daughter slides her knife a little deeper, never letting the scar close.

In a flash, an unnoticed son can crack.

Screams at the top of his lungs. Jumps in the seat. Ignores the brake.

Police cars come, speed lightning fast. But, to no avail.

For the life has passed.

And, it all happened.

In a flash.
