A Strange Night

On a Friday night, my parents were at a work reunion and I was at home alone. I was in my bedroom reading a history book when the power suddenly went out. I got out of my cosy bed and got a torch.

Then I went to look out of the window and I saw someone talking on a phone. It was the angry owner of the shop that is underneath our house. He seemed very anxious and worried.

Then I was flabbergasted to see that group of people with wire cutters got out of a white van. I realized that the shop had taken our power because they were installing a new fridge in their shop.

After that, I called my parents and told them everything that happened. They told me that our house and the shop shared the same power so that could be the reason why the lights were out. Then they told me not to worry and wait until the power went back on. A couple of minutes later I was pleased to see that the power was reinstated

I will never forget that night because strangely these things happened the only time I was home alone.
