Just as I began the conclusion of my English paper, the entire building was plunged into silent darkness. I was dismayed at the thought of having to wait until the following day to see the print out. Then the tutor told me the bad news: I had lost the entire essay just because I failed toclick the save button one minute earlier when the electricity went off. My draft no longer existed.
