Pleegwat village square moments after the last lamp post is switched off

Photo or photoreal illustration of a small English hamlet village square at blue-hour dusk: thatched cottages, a small war memorial, low stone wall, and one old-fashioned cast-iron lamp post just going dark (bulb newly off). The square is now noticeably underlit, with deepening shadows pooling at the edges. A couple of villagers in coats pause mid-step as if realising it’s “proper dark.” No monster visible—just an unnaturally heavy darkness gathering beyond the circle where the light used to be.
