Weekly Contest #52
Karina noticed the streetlamp wink out at the top of the hill. They had already been lit by the time Helena and she had left the university building to head home, but they should not be turning off again for another 18 hours at the very least. The cone of the darkness it left behind left an impression on Karina, like it had a weight in her vision. “Hey Karina, what’s up?” She let out an involuntary squeal and practically leapt a foot to the left.

Have a good evening, mum.” I say instead. I hope she does not notice the waver in my voice. A small part of me hopes that she does. The call closes and I put the phone down, looking at the black rectangle for a moment, wondering why I did not say it this time either. There is not much time left. On my table is the eviction notice; this is the...
