When the Lights Came On

Share a six-minute story about the moment everything suddenly became visible. Maybe it was a truth you couldn't unsee, a secret dragged into the open, or a realization that lit up a room you thought you knew. It could be the literal end of the party, the house lights rising while you stood there exposed, or the second you finally understood what had been in front of you all along. Maybe it was quiet—a slow dawning no one else even noticed. Tell us what the darkness had been hiding, what the light revealed, and how you looked at things once you could no longer pretend not to see.
