The dim light hung from the roof, with some black old spots on the tube, making the light seem even dimmer.
Cui Min'er sat hugging her knees in the corner against the wall, staring blankly at the occasionally flickering tube.
For a long time during her childhood, this light tube was her nightmare, especially since at that time, her grandmother would go out to work, and her young brother would be taken care of by her mother, leaving her alone at home.
There was a TV at home, but the remote was locked in the cabinet, and only when her dad wanted to watch TV could she watch it for a while with him.
So, even though Cui Min'er was extremely scared when she was alone at home, she couldn't do anything. She didn't dare to turn off the light and could only wrap herself in the quilt, shrink in the corner, and pray for time to pass faster, hoping her parents would come back sooner.
