This week’s prompt is given to us by Serath who suggested this:

The Prompt I was thinking of, is a brief description: Vast darkness, a lone light on a pole, and a rumbling sound. I got out of work super late at night, last week, and had a surreal moment in the parking lot, where it seemed like the night, a parking lot light in the near distance, and the sound of a freight train on the nearby tracks were the only things in existence. The cool thing about the light was you could actually see the cone of light it cast, looking almost like an oasis. I liked the impression so much, I honestly wanted to see how other authors would run with it.
