Light

I waited for the Sun to come up. It didn’t. 

Around noon I went out to my yard and yelled up at the dark sky for the Sun to come out. 

I heard from the far, far off distance, “I don’t feel well. I’m not coming in…Can you sub for me?” 

I grunted and went back in the house and got out a flash light and went back outside. 

I shone the flash light around till about seven. 

I went back inside. I was exhausted.
