55. Darkness (Germany)

This is just great, you thought. You were walking to Feli's house for supper, and all the street lights for about 50 yards down the road went out at once. There weren't any cars going past, and most of the house's front porch lights were either very dim or off.

"Great...this is just great...damn you street lights," you muttered to yourself. You felt around for the edge of the sidewalk and followed along it.

You walked this way, following the edge for 10 feet or so and you saw a light coming towards you. You frozen, but the light shown in your face.

"There you are," a familiar voice called.

"Umm...who are you? I can't see your face," you said, your voice cracking. He shined the flashlight in his face and you saw who it was. It was Ludwig. "Oh, Ludwig, it's just you," you said with a sigh.

"Yes, it's just me. Feliciano saw the lights go out and got worried about you, so he sent me out to find you."

"Oh, well, that was nice of him. Thank you for coming out here."

"Shall we head over?"

"Sure," you rushed forwards to Ludwig and you walked to Feli's house.

When you arrived at Feli's the lights came back on. You turned on the spot and stared at the light post, muttering, "Asshole..." at it before heading inside.
