The Dark

Part 1 of ?

'Donut's is there nothing they can't do' was repeating over and over before Ian pushed down on the slice of cake, which doubled up as a snooze button on his novelty Simpsons alarm clock. Ian hated mornings, it normally took him until midday to wake up properly and this morning was no different. He turned the alarm clock off before the snooze minute run out and forced himself out of bed. Dreading the day ahead he stumbled around in the dark looking for his dressing gown, which he knew was on the floor somewhere. He found it and put it on inside out, not really caring and opened the curtains. Still dark. 'What the fuck' he looked at the glowing time under homers face which read nine o'clock am. He found his phone on the side and picked it up to see thirty five missed calls and twenty text messages. He silently cursed himself for leaving his phone on silent and checked the time which also read nine o'clock am. Slightly freaked out but still not taking it all in, he turned on the television and was confronted with the news.
'The government have issued a statement calling for calm and are telling people to remain in there homes for the time being, everything is' Ian didn't hear anymore of what was being said, he was transfixed on the scrolling news banner flashing at the bottom of the screen.

NEWSFLASH.. AT APPROXIMATELY FOUR AM GMT TIME OUR PLANETS SUN WENT OUT.

'JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, this can't be happening'. But it was.....

Just an idea I had, it'll probably never get finished or deleted like all my other story's, please let me know in the comments if its lame.

Awakened In Darkness.

I opened my eyes, staring at blackness, somewhat lethargic from the sleeping pills. "Rey. Reylene?" A familiar voice whispered. "Quinton. Are you here?" I called, digging my fingers into my mattress.
