The Lights Taken Out of the World

I was sitting in what appeared to be my apartment in Washington, D.C. I was on the bed doing work or reading. The TV was on to my left, but I was not watching it. Suddenly, the lights and TV faded out to complete darkness. I could see, hear and sense the energy drained from the entire system. I was on about the 7th floor of a tall building and went to the window to peek through the mini blinds. The whole city was in a complete blackout, and there were no lights as far as the eye could see. The sky was eerie dark grey, with very little natural light penetrating. All the buildings were covered in about four inches of frozen snow. Directly in front of me was an old steeple church building. It was also eerily dark and lifeless.
