I like to read before I fall asleep. A month ago or so, my lamp broke and I have not replaced it. Because I do not want to get out of bed and walk over to the light switch when it's time to sleep, I read by flashlight, like a kid who is trying to stay up past his bedtime.
A few nights ago I was reading Hocus Pocus by Vonnegut; one of his best in my opinion. I thought I noticed the light dimming a bit as I had about twenty pages left. By the time I had ten left it was clear the batteries were dying. As if the light were holding on until I was done, just as I finished the last sentence everything faded to black.
