The Lights

Plot
This story starts, in a town known as Johnstown. At a two story house, made with brick and stone, and a family of three sleeping inside. In the parents room, the alarm clock reads 12:00 AM. There is a large rumbling, and the mother wakes up.

"Honey, are we having an earthquake?" She asked to the father, who mumbles "No, go back to sleep, it's midnight."

The mother sighs, then rolls over and goes back to sleep. A little boy waddles into the room, and nudges his mother to get in their bed. The little boy snuggles up in a blanket, and goes to sleep. There is a flash, and then, nothing. Four hours later, the child wakes up, and whispers to his mother in his baby language. The mother does nothing to react. The child digs his head into his mother's face, which normally gets her attention.

"Momma, me want milk." The boy says, to no avail. The boy starts crying, and gets underneath the blanket, when he finds a little orb. He touches it, and a watch attaches to his wrist.

The words "Ten years later..." appears, and dissapears.

"Mom! MOM! It's time to go! We're gonna be late to school!" The boy yells out, with a retro looking black and white watch that doesn't seem to work on his left wrist. The boy grabs his backpack, and ties his shoes.

"MOM! Come on!" He yells again, and his mother walks down the stairs.

"Sorry honey, I was combing my hair." She says, and they both hurried out the door, into their silver mini-van, and off to school. The boy ran into the building, and into first period. The lights seem dimmer today, but the bulbs are really dusty and look untouched. "Today class, we will be-" The teacher was cut off by the lights going out. "Weird, I thought the school has a backup generator..." The boy asked, and the teacher replied "Yeah, we do have a generator Draven. Everyone stay here, and keep calm. I will find the janitor and-AHHH!"

There was a flash of light, the teacher was gone, and the lights were back on in a second. The lights got brighter and dimmer, and hands reached out of the bulbs. The kids screamed, and ran out the door, with Draven in the back of the pack. The hands formed into bodies of sapient light, and they took energy from lights all around it as they moved. Draven looked back, and the light-men grabbed him, and pinned him to the ground. They reached for his watch, which Draven couldn't get off, and ended up just keeping on his wrist, and the green side-ways hourglass glowed with green energy. The light-men screeched, and started to absorb the light, when the green glow spread across Draven's body, and he became a... puddle of purple goo.

The goo looked at the light-men, who were fasinated and weren't moving. The goo looked down, and screamed in a deep bubble-y voice.

"What, am I?" The goo yelled, and the light-men attacked. The goo's eyes widened, and it formed a mace hand and sweeped right through.

"I didn't know what I expected..." The goo said, and rolled up into a ball and rolled down the hall dodging carts.
