![]() The lights flickered off again, and it was almost pitch black except for the cold illumination of my flashlight. All we knew was that we weren’t allowed inside. Some people said this was where they kept the prototype. The overhead lights flickered then flared back to life just as I passed The Door. I’d either find someone to help or just go home. Sluggishly I stood and walked toward the exit. There was still light filtering through the windows, but that wouldn’t reach far. I switched on the flashlight connected to my phone. There had to be a generator for this place. I sighed and picked up the phones to call security. I shouldn’t have come in when snow was expected, but it was too quiet in my apartment, and there was a lot to do here. I vaguely remembered a different life that wasn’t all about my job. Of course, I’d decided to come in on my day off work. ![]() Looking around, I surveyed the empty offices. These buildings were set up to handle worse weather than this. It had shut down 10 seconds ago with nearly everything else. Now the snowflakes looked closer to golf balls. The last time I’d checked, the snow had been a speck on the horizon. It may come down softly at first, but it can transform into a full blizzard in little time at all. ![]()
