     I just want to know, is everything that happened to me today some kind of Hint, or what?

Good morning!

I look on the dark ceiling, stretch myself and hear the clock fall on the floor.

I go after him, but in the dark don't see the bed's edge and find myself down.

I hear the clock whining but don't see it.

So I go to the light switch.

What did I knock down now?

Will check when I'll see.

So, the light!

Phoof!

Oops.

The lights that were in the house went off too.

Where is this emergency lamp?

Then I recollect, that I took it's plug out because I wanted to use vacuum cleaner from that socket.

I do not remember that I returned the lamp's plug into the place.

So. No emergency lamp.

Well, big deal!

I can do without it.

I just will sit here for two minutes until my eyes get used to darkness.

Oops, Who moved the bed away?

I raise from the floor and feel my way for the bed.

Just two inches farther.

Then I sit on it and get used to darkness.

After five minutes I do not see anything yet, so I decide to wait for the morning light.

I lie on the bed and try to relax.

With pains in lower and upper back it is not that easy.

Suddenly I recollect that today I wanted to rise early.

I have a very important meeting soon.

So, I sigh and go down on the floor - I am not ready to be walking disaster.

So I crawl slowly on four into the corridor.

Until my hand misses the floor and I begin to count:

One stair, two stairs, three, four.

There I stop my stairscounting process.

The head rings from the third stair and the left hand remembers very well the first two.

Right knee doesn't feel anything - already.

I look downwards trying to find stairs but darkness stairs at me with its pitch blackness.

Right hand forward.

Right knee forward and down.

For better grip I put right hand forward and down.

My chin found a stair..

Then left hand, left knee, chin, right hand (are you not tired already from this description?)

So with those five limbs (can chin be a limb?) I got down.

There I found rather quickly the chair, the table, my son's bicycle, my daughter's, dog's water bowl.

Where is this darn fuse box?

Ah, It is higher.

I rise on my legs and find it : the vase, the picture, another chair, the wall phone, the fuse box, the door. The mirror.

Stop. Back. The box.

I am so close..

I open the box door and look inside.

Why they paint fuses in black?

I try to find the bad fuse by touching.

I rise on my legs.

Flashes are still in my eyes.

Now I really do not see anything.

I decide not to try to find fuses second time and go in the direction of phone - I will call my appointment of.

I hear the bicycle, one and then another fall, then vase adds its chimes to the sound of the fallen chair and then I find the phone.

I take in to my ear and hear nothing.

Of course. It's cordless, so it does not work without electricity.

I sit myself down near the wall and get calmed.

I begin to think.

I did everything I could.

Better not to try anything more.

It could just make it worse.

I just want to know, is everything that happened to me today some kind of Hint, or what?
