  5. I have never blacked out. One time some friends of mine wanted to do this weird thing where you took a bunch of deep breaths and then they picked you up and then you were supposed to black out. I didnt do it. I dont have enough brain cells as it is.

  7. In the dark of new york city, the lights went out, and the passion went on. People kissed, danced, made love, made babies. It was a wonderful evening. And to this day, I am thankful for the blackout. It literally is why I am here. Such a beautiful time for man and woman, and what a beautiful excuse to just get a bit closer.

  8. When the lights went out we thought it might be the end of the world. We lit candles in the kitchen and dug through drawers for radio batteries. An old lady in Toronto was dying of thirst in her 20th story apartment. The world didn’t end. Not that day, but there were kids with baseball bats on the street and there were neighbours with flashlights and water.

  9. darkness. When all lights are off. No light.

  10. the dark came over me so quickly, reeling i stumbled, lurching, falling. blackness took me away to bliss. no pain. no sound. no love. just a sweet embrace from a strange lover who i had never met before. would the blackness remember my name in the morning?

  11. it would really suck to be in a blackout. fortunately, my computer has like a five hour battery, so i could at least use it for a little while. but I would suck, because I couldn’t open the fridge, so I couldn’t eat anything. I’d probably just go over to a relative’s house, which is usually what my relatives do if they have a blackout.

  12. the one word i can think about is love. love is the only thing keeping me from doing something horrible. my lover is the only one keeping me from failing. the love i have for my best friend is also keeping me from it. i love my best friend and girlfriend so much.

  13. he punched my head, hard. i fell over, smashing my skull into the cold concrete. and then, i blacked out.

  14. I once had a blackout we powered our house with a generator. My mum and Brother had to learn from my dad how to work a generator but my Dad ended up having to do it on the day it happened. I really like the dark, but life can’t go on forever.

  15. The worst thing anyone can possibly do is keep their friends and family in the dark. It shuts out not only any tenuous strings of warmth they attempt to extend onto your island of solitude, but severs any possible future reciprocals from yourself. Don’t do it. Live openly with those who you love.

  16. black out mean that you’re not conscious of what you doing. you get a black out after you’ve been hit in the head for example, it’s a bad feeling. you feel dizzy and don’t know whats going on. i’ve never got a black out, but i think i know how it feels. don’t ever get a black out. do that by being careful around danger

  17. There was no sound. Only the sounds in my head which reflected the world around me before everything went black. I can’t reach the door even though I feel myself edging toward it.

  18. when you get hit you black out, it is a feeling when your brain is asleep and unconscious, that why they call it blackout, “black” mean unconscious obviously. You don’t want to be blacked out, its not a good feeling, it sucks. It only happen after a major accident or bad time, it’s bad! be careful not to get blackout

  21. when somebody doesnt know the world. they dont blink, or clear their eyes, they go with the blackout, and end up not seeing the world at all. nothing is ever really clear to them, and they would rather live in a blackout type of phase. they dont see the need to come out of the fog and relive in color. the blackout is what they want.

  22. the lights suddenly die. i find a candle.

  24. Well, I’m not really sure what the hell I’m supposed to be writing about, but I suppose I’ll be talking about how we just had a blackout at our school the other day. You see, I go to a university, so this was very surprising and rather annoying because not only was the school out, but the whole fucking campus was out. This meant no internet, no FOOOOD and no studying for my multiple tests…. it’s stupid.

  25. There wasn’t any light. The perfect opportunity at last. I leaned forward. No one could see us. Our lips so close. Our breath on each other’s face. We leaned forward, then suddenly away, as the spark between us lit up the room.

    Noah
  26. No one ever tells me anything. Do they assume I already know? (Sometimes)Or couldn’t possibly be interested? Sometimes I think I just don’t even register on the radar.

  27. a darkness settles over a room, and nothing is visible. All senses become infinitly sharpened. You hear your hearbeat, and that of your companions. you smell their fear. Then the world returns.

  29. The sun went out a few days ago.
    Black out.
    We run around in a panic, not sure when our lives on this earth will come to an end.
    The electricity went out a few hours ago.
    Black out.
    We can’t find the refrigerator to make a sandwich in the middle of the night.
    Black out.

  30. Getting knocked out over the head and falling onto the ground and passing out. Your friends are all around you right afterward and you seem to not be able to remember a thing. Your head hurts and that’s all you know

  31. Images. Flowed through the ether of his brain, dragged by the current of the unconscious deep, a rough wash upon the cragged shore, little torn bits left behind as it receded. Little torn bits of images, memories. The cashier’s bored smile yesterday as she handed him his change, a ragged corner of the hair his wife wore when she left him, flapping on alien ground like fish asphyxiating.

    Images.

    (this obviously took more than 60 seconds)

  32. this is wot happens when you take 40 pro plus a day with coke cola take drugs and only sleep an hour a day while at school and working you BLACKOUT

  33. I can’t sleep unless it’s totally dark.
    But if it’s completely dark and I’m up and around, I get scared.
    Stairs in the dark are the worst.
    I’m not afraid of monsters.
    I used to be afraid of strangers and murderers and kidnappers being in my house at night almost to the point of being paranoid.

    Claire
  34. the end was near and gail knew it. she saw the approaching subway train with a temerity closely attributed with the gaze of a rattlesnake facing a monstrous mongoose. the pain of her impending doom hung over her, and she experienced blackout.

  35. He fell off the chair in a whirl of drunken haziness. Glory watched, silent. He lay on the floor, quiet and limp. Without thinking, Glory stood and covered his body with a blanket. Before going to bed without him, he turned the TV off and kissed his forehead. He wished it was not Tuesday.

  36. And as the darkness closed around me, I remembered the last time I had this sort of blackout. By now I almost knew what to do before it happened. I could feel it from a mile away. Things faded from my sight, and I fully realized that most of our life is just things, things we can easily get rid of. Very few things are constant and all we leave behind is what we do, not what we own.

  37. it was a blackout
    i was hoping those three words
    were to be “i love you”
    not “it’s over. “

  38. when I see her floating down the steps in absolute beauty I become completely at peace. I begin holding my breath to see her smile, feel her touch and take her hand and it feels so long that I feel that I might blackout.

    Daniel
  39. What do I say. I am not supposed to think. But I am thinking about that limitation. The green bar is moving faster and faster. The room is getting smaller. The TICK TICK TICK of my watch is becoming louder and louder. THE GREEN IS ORANGE.

  40. I just laid there. Terrified. Whyd that just happen? Oh my god. Was that a stroke? Am i sick. Am i gonna die? I’m so afraid. I slowly got up and called the ambulance.
