The Light

By Isabelle Davison

I a woke to the feeling of light touching my face. I looked outside but the only thing to see was a few alone dogs wondering the streets. I thought nothing of it so I lead back down and tried to sleep. Only moments later, the same sensation of light in my room as before. "What is it?2 I thought as I slowly woke up. Everything was the same as before except for a small spec of light peeking through my curtains. I didn't go to sleep after that, I just sat on my bed, watching the light. Moments later the light grew, I thought I finally would find where the light was coming from but it was only the rising sun. For 5 days and 5 nights, the small spec of light stayed but on the 6th night, it grew! Again it stayed the same for 5 days and 5 nights until it grew larger again. This went on for 1 month until I woke one night to darkness, there was no light, nothing. What was the light? Why did it leave? Where did it go? All these thoughts circled my mind over and over again. To this day I do not know what the light was, where it went or why but now it returns on the same month on the same day for the same amount of time.
