Light in the Dark
Author: OuttaTime
I was born with no hearing in my right ear and very limited hearing in my left ear. So though I can hear a bit, I have relied on my eye sight to get me through life. One unfortunate side affect of my hearing disability is that I can never find an alarm clock loud enough to wake me up.
For this reason I have invested in a neon clock. Neon clocks are perfect for someone like me because they are so bright that I can always tell what time it is. Good thing too — because I was oversleeping way too often!
Peculiar Nightlight
Author: OuttaTime
When my son was about three years old he saw the Neverending Story on television. As the movie was marketed towards children, I didn’t think anything of it. But for some reason he was afraid of the flying white dog from the movie. For a few days he would wake up in the middle of the night and cry. He had a nightlight, but after the fourth or fifth night I took my neon clock out of the guest room and put it on his wall.
I’m not sure what I hoped to change, but after that he stopped waking up and crying. My son is six now, and he won’t let me take it away.
