The light turns off.
There is complete darkness, and for one split second you think you see a light. You don't understand. Why is everything so dark? So undetailed? You rub your eyes, trying to find out what you are seeing wrong. What was that light? There it is again. It gets brighter. Suddenly, it all makes sense. But just when you think you can see everything's true colors...
The light turns off.
