Endless Night
The sun had seen some recent issues over the past while. Not doing what it should have been doing. It tormented the City as much as it tormented the people that it contained. Just when it thought that it had everything fixed for good, something else would go wrong. Frustration filled it, the perfection was being marred, and it wasn't the one doing the marring. Maybe it would have been different if the sun's strange treks in the sky had been its own work. But the sun defied the City's desires.
While the City tried to sort out the problem, catastrophe struck.
One night, the sun sank below the horizon, bathing the residents in the glow of the wonderfully full moon. And the next morning, did not rise again. Stars blanketed the sky as if the night wasn't supposed to be ending, giving way to a new dawn.
The street lamps and lit signs functioned as they normally would, instead of staying on like people might have preferred. For 8 hours there was no illumination from any sources outside of what the moon in it's ever changing state provided. The darkness was deep and complete. The perfect shroud for the creatures that lurked.
