Lights Out Novels & Stories

I can’t think of any response that won’t dig me an even deeper hole, so I remain silent. It’s beginning to grow dim inside the store, so Lights extinguished his balls of light, not wanting to cause any kind of glow that could be visible from outside. We all dig into our packs to grab some food, so we can eat before it becomes too dark. After dinner, we all chat for awhile—thankfully avoiding the subject of Kai, who has not yet returned—and then turn in for what I hope will be a good night’s sleep.

Until May 20, 2005, 4 more bodies were found, two of which belonged to students of my high school. Fortunately, it was not anyone in my class, but all students felt the tension anyway, even the always calm Luna. Soon there there was a curfew that started at 9:30 pm and lasted until 5 am, as each victim was attacked between late evening and nighttime, exactly somewhere between 10pm and 2am, so this was considered a sufficient safety measure.

It seemed he knew something when Noah said the word “Starlight” On the other hand, Lux was trying to calm down and took a deep breath. The blonde-haired girl had a faint smile on her face, “Huft … looks like I have to use that. Like it or not, I have to do it in an emergency like this. In fact, I really don't want to use it because the side effects are quite troublesome.” Lux who showed a calm expression and she suddenly smiled faintly, it made the man who attacked her feel that something was strange.

‘I need the spotlight over there,’ he told him. ‘Yes Sir,’ came the man’s reply. He trained the light hanging from the side of the watchtower on the point Radford was indicating. It was a powerful beam, but they still had to wait until the figure was closer for it to have any impact. Radford kept the glasses pressed tight against his eyes, his hands wringing the lenses. The figure came into view, striding stiffly towards the cordon. He looked strange and, at first, the major couldn’t work out what was wrong. Then he saw that the person was covered in a thin layer of something. It looked for all the world like they’d been walking in the clouds before coming down to Earth. It was the wispy mat

Now that he's gone, it will be easier for him to catch me and I'm afraid that if he does, I won't be able to wake up. -Nothing will happen to you. My parents continued to ignore it, but I could not be calm. Without the spirit protecting me, that being was going to catch me and I didn't want that to happen. A tremendous anxiety took hold of me and I didn't want to go back to sleep. I decided to stay awake during the nights, despite how sleepy I was, I struggled to stay awake. I got dark circles under my eyes and found it harder and harder to stay awake. The lack of sleep was beginning to hinder my work on the farm and I felt like I was living dead. My mood changed drastically and Sebastian no

The building's silhouettes suddenly became the dark night sky and the lights from their windows suddenly were twinkling. "Isn't that beautiful?" I asked when I saw a broken stoplight, the red light was blinking and the green and yellow once didn't seem to work. I thought it was aesthetically pleasing, under the gloom of the night, along the empty streets and silently passing cars. The slow blinking of that stop light seemed to harmonize with the quietness of the evening. I looked at Edgar and he was frowning at the stop light. "Pretty much could cause traffic, goodness, that should be fixed," he said and I rolled my eyes at him.

The four of us turned to face him. “Our Luna is fine. She has no wounds that I can see. There are a few spots where there are some red marks which I have a feeling will turn into bruises.” Dr. Lewiston told us. “I watched her eyes roll back as she dropped like a lead balloon.” I pointed out.

We never fought, we never laughed, we never touched. Tonight the power cut out at eight thirty. The lights snapped off, the air conditioner died. The city outside disappeared behind black glass. Thunder cracked so loud it rattled my bones. I stood up from the couch and felt my way toward the kitchen. Roman was already there, he had his phone flashlight on, the beam pointed at the floor so it would not blind us. “Whole grid is down,” he said. “Doorman said it could be hours. Maybe all night.” I leaned against the island. “Great.”

The room was dark except for the glow of three screens, their shifting light painting Leo’s face in hues of blue and green. Outside, the neighborhood had gone quiet — no traffic, no chatter, no footsteps in the hall. It was past midnight, but Leo thrived at these hours, when the world finally gave him silence.

After dinner, Lucas suddenly set down his fork and said, "I have to work late tonight at the observatory. I need to observe a star that's quite rare." I frowned and looked at him in puzzlement. "I didn't hear your phone go off. And don't they usually notify you in advance? Why so sudden this time?" He froze for a split second. Then, he smiled and gave a perfunctory excuse. "It's an urgent observation that's kind of a last-minute assignment." I nodded without pushing further. That night, the weather forecast announced a drop in temperature. Upon seeing it, I recalled that Lucas wasn't dressed warmly when he went out. I hesitated for a moment before deciding to drive to the observatory and bri
