Glow text animation using box shadow effects as a study of what can be accomplished with just css

This is a component of a future homepage for an interactive narrative website which will be only use html and css. This was started to test my limits with css and to show that accessible and efficient design can just be limited to html and css.

BRIEF:

This animation transitions between 3 stages at differing speeds to mimic organic flickering in old neon signs.

1 is the standard brightness which will be the basis state

2 is the overbright state used for sudden flashes

3 is the off stage, where only a faint glow inside the text remains.
