Pitch Black, Part 2: a double drabble and the conclusion.

“Mr.Waverly. It’s just a power failure and the backup generator should start up momentarily.”
“Where’s mama? Is she all right?”
A pause and then, “She’s fine. Close your eyes now and rest.”

“Shhhh. We’ll give you some medicine soon. Just lie still and I’ll watch over you.”

“That’s probably for the best.”
