Chapter 1- Light’s out
**********
Dawn was in Grand Central Station with Connor, taking pictures of the artwork on the ceiling, when the lights went out. He quickly grabbed her hand and lead her to the nearest exit before she even knew what was going on.
“Wow!” She said, as they headed out into the daylight. “What happened?”
“Not sure. I think we should head back though.”
As they walked towards the Marriott Marquis together they heard inklings of conversation about what had caused the blackout, still nothing was yet clear as to the cause.
When they reached the hotel it was completely dark inside. The woman at the guest desk advised them to try to find some candles or a flashlight before it got too dark to look because it didn’t look like the lights would be on any time soon.
They walked up the darkened staircase to the 6th floor where the Summers’ room was. It was already becoming incredibly warm without the air-conditioning and Dawn really wanted to change the shirt she was wearing.
“I feel really bad now that I didn’t go shopping with her. I really should have. She planned this whole trip for us, it’s the least I could have done.”
“I’m sure she’ll be fine Dawn. Don’t worry.”
“Where are your parents?”
“Just my dad. Cordelia is his girlfriend. I never knew my mom. They’re halfway to Atlantic City by now. They weren’t planning to be back until tomorrow.”
