Shock Treatment

Montreal’s left-winger is about to take a slap shot…

No, wait.

I feel a gentle breeze on my face.

Strange.

I open my eyes. Yes, there is a breeze.

Not again! I look out the window from my bed, expecting to see trees bending in the gale.

The darkness of 4 a.m. Nothing but silence, the glow of streetlights.

Streetlights?!

Then I hear it. A gentle whir.

I look up. In the dimness, the blades of an overhead fan turning and turning.

Electricity! For the first time since Sunday.

Thanks for nothing, Irene.
