Everyone remembers where they were at the

Blackout. You?

K

Before my time.

FILE CLERK

Home with my folks, terrified – ten days

of darkness, every machine stopped cold.

When the lights came back we were wiped

clean as any. Photos, files, every bit

of data – gone. Bank records too,

didn’t mind that, couldn’t prove our loan

and had to give us the house outright…

Clerk locates and opens a drawer. Inside, neatly stacked,

are thousands of thin, translucent CARDS. Clerk fingers

through them, nostalgic while searching.

FILE CLERK (ON SCREEN) (cont’d)

Funny how only paper lasts. We had

everything on drives. My mom still cries over the lost baby pictures.
