how many light sources could you find in the pitch black?

My power just went out a few minutes ago and the first flashlight I got to was dead. I got to another one less than 30 seconds after the power went out. I could easily have gotten to two more if I'd needed to.

Very windy here tonight.

Coyotes are going crazy.

I have bionic eyes and can see in the dark.

The flashlight app is the first thing I install on any phone, but a lot come with it already installed now. If I'm sleeping than it's next to me charging. It uses the camera flash for light and it's really bright.

During prolonged outages, I always break out the votive candles.

I'd stumble into things until I could find my lighter, then would go from there.
