Half the world is draped in darkness. A power outage has hit the Northern Hemisphere. The cause of it has been dealt with but, unfortunately, it will take time to recover. Everybody is safe, but the holidays will not be as bright due to the dim light provided by candles.
Secure in the knowledge that there will be peace for the holidays, families and friends gather together and make the most of the situation. They spend the time talking, enjoying games or playing music; anything that doesn't require electricity.
Upon closer inspection, there's a brighter light than the rest on the East Coast. An apartment window glows from the warmth of a beautiful tree, brilliantly decorated with colored lights. Brand new ornaments were hung with care all over the majestic branches. Underneath, there are a few brightly wrapped packages and a couple of quickly thrown-together gift bags (someone's not too fond of wrapping).
Just beyond the tree, into the apartment, you see a couple on the couch. She is snuggled into his chest. He has his arm wrapped around her shoulders holding her tight, lightly resting his head on top of hers.
Just before she falls asleep, she sighs.
"I'm glad you're here."
She pauses to yawn.
"Merry Christmas, Lincoln."
He smiles and kisses the top of her head as she is already sound asleep.
"Merry Christmas, Daisy."
As he dozes off, he drops the power cord he'd been holding in his other hand and the tree lights go off.
