Drama 16 Stage Lighting

3/2/2017  12:30 AM my dorm room

Red light from the symbol of my roommate’s Mac, bright white light flashing from next to my bed from below basking the immediate area in light.  General darkness.

Red light glaring straight at me from across the room.  Flashes of white light illuminating the ceiling every minute.  The incessant attack on my ability to sleep at a normal time irritated me to the core.  Though the red glaring light is a constant most nights, it felt particularly offensive when the group chat was giving my phone a seizure.

1. February 2nd. 6:30 AM. My room.

2. The light is coming from a bright bulb directed right at my face. It is bright, white, and all encompassing.

3. Waking up to my roommate switching on his bed lamp, which, at the moment, is aimed directly at my face is jarring. Snapped out of sleep, my head pounds immediately as I stare at the bright, unexplainable light. Clarity returns at the same pace my vision does. As I can figure out my location visually, the rest falls into place. My roommate aims the light away from me, and I fall back asleep.
