Prompt: What if tomorrow we had no electricity? 10-minute writing

The music was blaring loud in everyone's ears. The bass thumping loud enough to be heard several blocks over. Kevin leaned against the back wall and tried to block out the incessant noise. He was regretting ever agreeing to be the sober drive for his friends. Nevertheless, they had begged him and he wanted to impress the new guy. He checked his watch as the strobe lights flashed overhead, 11:59. At midnight, he was collecting all their drunk asses and dragging them out to the car. His watched ticked over the midnight and the strobe lights went out. The music had stopped too.

"What the hell is going on?" A drunken voice yelled. The question was echoed across the dance floor.

"Power must have gone out," someone shouted back. Kevin dug his cellphone out of his pocket and started to edge his way through the crowd, shining the light one people's faces.

People were becoming restless as the darkness and silence stretched on. Kevin found Mia and Riley in the crowd.

"What's going on?" Mia asked. Her smoky eye shadow was smudged, making her blue eyes even bluer.

"Power outage of some kind," Kevin replied. "Let's find David and Bobbie and get out of here."

The crowd around them was noisy. People drunkenly calling out names of their sober cabs or demanding that the music is turned back on. Riley grabbed the back of Kevin's jacket, their other hand grabbing Mia's tightly.

"Bobbie!" Mia yelled, catching sight of the multicolored braids in the glow of multiple cell phones.
