One word is a single statement of thought which says little more than that there is more to come. Having only one word start is way to get other thoughts going so that more will come later. Since there is no where to start but at the beginning, it is important to get going. Then when more space is available, more will be said. When more than one word is on the page, it is easier to get more going.

The closet door would not open….I could feel the air going out of my lungs…Relax, dammit..!..Still the dark closed in as my mind turned to blackout…

Why are the lights out? All over the city. Nothing. Darkness. A blackout. Must have blown a main generator…or aliens have invaded the planet and they are going to take over and make us their slaves to work in their human growth factories.
Mark E. Lemon
can’t see, can’t think. Mind is blank. hit the ground, knot on head. busted skull, no lights , completely dark, afraid of the dark,
Joseph
it was late and i was finding it hard to breath, my head throbbed and my face was cool with a liquid…what happened?
Fairy
The black hole. possibly where you go when you black out.
Kevin
I was in my room it had been windy but I never thought this would happen. I was reading and I hear a crash. I had never heard something so loud! I go into the living room and see what had happened! And there it was a big tree! all the lights suddenly went out! The tree from next door had fallen, crashed down in our house, and caused a blackout.
avery
I lay supine on the floor. Had I blacked out?
It had been a long night.
When I rolled over and realized that I didn’t know where I was, I knew it would be a long night yet.
Katherine
The noise was horrible, what was worse was the fact that you couldn’t see. The sounds of screaming filled the darkness of the black out. Cries of terror and pain filled the air. No one had prepared for it. How would they of? There had been no warning…
Heather
In the bingalow colony there were always blackouts and we would all take our flashilights and run around having fun in t he pitch black
Lauren
“Is everyone alright?”
I couldn’t see anything within the office complex.
Only the moonlight revealed the surroundings. Looking outside, I saw the whole city was as dark as our building. Something happened.
ghost
Sat there shivering in the dark. Willing the lights & the gear to come on. Perfect timing. First show on stage and we lose power…

people with multiple personality disorder have blackouts when they are switching from from identity to the other. I feel really bad for them. Blackout was also the name of of britny spears best album. Even though she can’t sing.

I have blackouts, they bring my fears to collision.
They’re terrible, they don’t let the light in, they push it into a corner. It’s like being five all over again, afraid of the big monster that’s going to get me. I can’t run because everything’s black and then I’ll end up hurting myself much more.

I remember the blackout of ’68 working at one of the top floors in the columbus circle building in NYC…..do you know what it is like to climb down over 36 flights of stair and then find that all the traffic is stalled and all the trains are stopped and there is no where to go as it approaches dark, but that nowhere compared to 9/11.
roro
there was a blackout. we were lost in the dark. no candles. the darkness was infinite. we could not see the end. was there even an end? was there a beginning? what defines these points? are they just perception?

If you cannot think anymore, you might have a blackout. You are being confronted with a difficult situation, maybe even a very profane one. But in that very moment, you just don’t know the solution! Your head is blocked. No thoughts are going through and you are just mumbling. You are sitting in an exam and dont know what to write – that is a blackout.
dennis
the way I feel at the moment..it is as if my mind is not where it should be and I am watching the body as it moves through the day…this is silly I know but what the hey..it is my mind and it can go where no man has gone before or ever will again

Bill heard the lights go out with a Pop. He scrambled, sweating, for the breakers and flipped each one back and forth at least twice. No effect. He walked slowly back to the table as if his steps could set the chemicals off.
R. Panic
it is so black that I can not move, I just want to crawl into a corner and hide until my eyes adjust to the light. what else is out there, who is lurking in the darkness? why do I feel so afraid?
I used to like the dark, until I knew about the bad things that dwell there…
ADD
The very creation of this word just goes to show how much people rely on light. Where’s the good ‘ol oil lamps gone now? Too much reliance on technology and its gonna snowball into something bad not a moment too soon.
Toro
A blackout is what occurs when power goes out. There is no way for a city to completely blackout unless power goes out throughout the city. A blackout is also a beautiful poetic concept, which should be explored by more poets today.
cassie
The great blackout nine months back was the cause of this baby boom.
helldiver
I’ve seen blackouts scare the heck out of people for many reasons. I don’t know what’s so scary about it. But when you really think about it… it’s not the actual darkness that scares you.
It’s just the fact that you can’t see. Anything. The lack of light itself is not the fear. It is the inability to see anything.
It is the inability to do anything. It’s about feeling helpless.
Noel Jon Jumalon
It was called a blackout. But it was nicknamed the wipeout. They came overhead once again. Whirring away and whistling down towards the dark ground. As i look up, it just looks like rain, your everyday ordinary rain. But, of course it wasnt. And my life was then at an end.
samuel
Today we filled the dish with hope. Gently spreading our concerns to the world. Hope is a dish best served in moderation; too little and you’ll die hungry, too much and you wont want to li

I was walking alone. Nothing mattered anymore. Just him. Why did he leave? Why? Did i do something? The trickling river of slush ran over my boots as I trudged across the street. Winter was my friend today.
mart
The blackout came from nowhere. It filled the room with fear. The whole house was shrouded in darkness. Noises from the wilderness started filling the air. Panics we amidst the noises, along with the noise of plane turbines, they brought the rain…
sam
Oh no, to again, and always at the most inopportune moment! For all it’s wonders, living in rural Africa does have its downside and regular blackouts are one of them. Not that I would want to be anywhere else, but
Ev
And suddenly everything was gone. If it could be that easy that a town wide blackout would hide all the troubles.She quickly carried the children to safety.
Maria
The city is screaming. Everything has gone dark. I try to find a place to go, some form of safety, anything will do, please let me find something, but no. There is only darkness. And screaming. And there is movement, but not normal movement. Something is out there, something that has caused this madness, this panic. I want to know what it is, but another part of me, a greater part, is terrified.
Clayton Walter
blackout this is something that happens when all liight is cut off. i facea blackout when nothing comes to my mind . i fear blackout will occur in indai like it did last yr in us
so wat do iu
use candles ,.. but that won’t be blackout.
Hemant Agarwal
I can’t seem to think. I don’t want to see anything. I close my eyes but still see bright dots of warm colors. I don’t want to see! Just leave me be. I didn’t do it, I just want to black out. Please just let me so.
Sandy
She watched the scene as it unfolded. The blood the broken bones. She knew it was coming before it even came. With that thought, her head hit the floor. It was another blackout…
Kali Namir
i was never a part of the fun and excitement that the blackout provided back in 2004. was it 2004? the thing is, i was using solar energy up north and i don’t think there was even a shortage that far north.
Katrina
it was not my fault that I plugged in the hair dryer while he was heating his Hot Pocket in the microwave. The lightning flash and pop of the breaker bursting was enough to scare my cat awake. And I crapped my pants. Another blackout. Oh well. Time to torch up a candle and settle in for the night. Sweet!
