The Night Before Dark

Kevin walked away from the tent and wielded the red flashlight like a sword.

“Ain’t no way!” His buddy, Tommy followed after him. “You telling me an angel gave that to you?”

“Yep.” Kevin smiled and held the light under his chin. “And he had black wings.”

“So what’s it do?”

“I’ll show you.” Kevin fanned the flashlight over his head and a series of stars collapsed into darkness.

“Jesus!” Tommy was stunned. He could barely see his own hand in front of his face.

“The good news,” Kevin said maniacally, “is that I have eternity to play with it.”

It took only three seconds to erase the moon.
