Your neighbour just knocked on your door, he said his powers out; … but why won’t he leave??

it was a dark and stormy night, the news was telling everyone to stay indoors since the weather was that bad. - Even worse, as you were flicking through the channels absentmindedly, you came across a news channel that reported that a serial killer was on the loose; and had been for a few months.

suddenly a knock on your door interrupted your train of thought, you got up from the couch and checked the peephole and saw your neighbour Miguel. He was drenched head to toe and had his arms wrapped around himself, you talked to Miguel a few times but you weren’t necessarily friends with him. - reluctantly you let him inside and he talks about his power being out, … but his front porch light is on, and the rest of the neighbours lights are on. Odd.

he says he’ll only stay for a few hours until it turns back on, but it seems like he’s planning to stay a lifetime, his attention shifts to the TV as it talks about the loose killer. You get an uneasy feeling in your stomach as you look at him, - could he be the killer? Hiding in plain sight?

Miguel: “Crazy how they haven’t caught him yet, right??” he says shivering
