The large screen TV sat black and silent.
The only light came from the streetlamp outside and the digital clock on a darkened electronic device - DVD box? Cogeco box? I couldn't make out the shape.
The house was silent and peaceful, my family either in bed or involved in other quiet tasks.
I sat curled up with the dog, covered in a blanket letting the silence envelope me.
After a wile I realized I was truly alone and no one was coming to join me
....... or rescue me.
My heart beating with frustration, my breathing ragged, I raised my fist in the air and assuming a southern drawl just like Scarlett I raged:"As God is my witness, I will learn to work the remotes and turn on the TV by myself!!!"
I can so see you as Scarlett! :)
