The Walk Home
“I’ve got to stop doing this.” says Tom, as he throws up into the toilet at a bar.
Tom hears knocking from someone trying to get inside the bathroom. He throws up once more then quickly cleans up before leaving. He puts his winter coat and hat on, says goodbye to his friends, then leaves. Too buzzed to drive, he figured he would just walk the mile or so to his house from the bar. About half way there he notices a strange humming noise and a flashing green light off into the distance. He stops to get a glimpse of the source of this light, but it is too far to see what it could be. The strange hum suddenly ceased, as all of the street lights flickered in unison until they all shut off. Tom stood there for a few seconds for the street lights to turn back on, but they didn’t. He pulls out his phone to use the flashlight and notices that his phone had no service.
