So, this is based on an idea I had and also some true events of the New York City Black Out of 1977 which lasted for twelve hours. During those twelve hours, the city went into total chaos, which included looting, raping, beatings, killings, and defiance of the law in general. That was also during the summer that was the height of the Son of Sam killings. All in all, you didn't want to be a New Yorker in 1977. But parts are based off of that ordeal.
Introduction: Wrong Way
Stephanie walked to the Elevator and pressed the down button. Tomorrow was a huge audition and she was almost out of concealer. Thankfully, this problem could be easily solved with a short little trip to the mall two blocks down the street. And a little time shopping for new outfits couldn't hurt.
Bing, Bing Bin… went the elevator.
Great, thought an extremely annoyed Stephanie as she glared at the now blank screen above her, this was the perfect time for the elevator to go out. But hey, at least the lights still worked.
There was a quick zapping sound, and the lights followed suit.
Great, Stephanie thought for the second time in as many minutes. Was the whole building with out power now?
But standing around being angry wasn't going to solve her make up problem. She would just have to take the stairs. As she headed down the stair well, she noticed how dark it was outside. She had been practicing inside of her bathroom before she left and hadn't noticed how late it had gotten. Maybe shopping could wait until tomorrow when the mall wasn't about to close.
As Stephanie came to the bottom of the stairs, she was faced with two options: one, she could go through the lobby that would be filled with people complaining to Bitters about the power failure, or two, she could go out through the back alley and out the gates straight to the mall with out having to go through a shark tank. Option number two certainly seemed like the better choice at that particular moment in time.
As she rounded the corner, she reached into her bag to grab her iPod. She never even saw it coming.
BAM!
What the fu-
And then she knew no more.
Thank you for reading. I'm sorry that it's so short, but the next chapters will be longer. So will the Black Out.
Also, I am taking about three Ocs. They will be killed, but you'll get to hear them speak once or twice! This is kind of just so that I have some people to kill off, however morbid and creepy that sounds. Anyways, tell me their name, age, looks, why they're at the Palm Woods, and a bit about their personality. And, if you really want to, how you would prefer them to be killed.
