[ WP ] You wake up in Oregon to a `` sunrise '' over the Pacific Ocean .

I woke up, with the the sun shining in my eyes. It was a bright light, which was what made me think that it was the sun, of course. I later learned that it was, sadly, not. 
 
 I lived in Oregon, in a small village on the coast on the pacific ocean. This was not my house, it was a cottage that I lived in during the summer. 
 
 Now, as I woke up, this bright yellow light shone through the large window frame at back of my room. Even with the curtains partially closed, it seemed bright as day. 
 I lifted myself up, almost collapsing at first, my legs still asleep. After regaining balance, I managed to open the curtains, squinting my eyes to see this sun. I looked out, grunted and closed the curtains again. It was nothing special. 
 
 Then, my brain processed what I had seen and I jerked the curtains open again. 
 “ Holy god, ” I said, my mouth open. “ Please, let this not be what I think this is... ” 
 
 It was the sun. Rising above the horizon, it was bigger than ever. Taking up nearly half the horizon while it was only rising. After looking at it for a bit more, I took my eyes off it, knowing that I could be blinded soon if I continue. Hell, I probably needed glasses after staring at it for that long! 
 
 I put on a shirt and threw on some pants, wanting to go outside and see if the neighbours were witnessing what this. I took a step outside and immediately went back inside. It was hotter than an oven out there! I quickly closed the door, all of the precious cold air escaping into the inferno. 
 
 *I ’ m going to die*, I thought to myself. 
 
 I cranked up all of the air conditioners in my house and waited for them to provide some cooling to my boiling body. Nothing came. I realized the power was out. 
 Going to the cupboards, I took all of the food I could find and brought it down to the basement with me. I knew that was the only place I could last the longest at. 
 
 As I sat down in the corner, slightly cooling off, I took the first thing that came into my hand. It was a mars bar. I opened it and bit it. 
 
 How I wished I could be living there now, if only we had colonized it earlier...
