Christmas Lights from Beyond
The Blakely family prided themselves on their extravagant Christmas light displays. Every year, their house became the neighborhood’s main attraction, drawing visitors from miles around. This year, they decided to outdo themselves. Michael Blakely, the father, ordered an advanced set of lights from a mysterious online retailer. The listing boasted “otherworldly brilliance,” and Michael couldn’t resist. The package arrived in an unmarked box, with no instructions aside from a note: “Once lit, do not turn them off.”
