JUST A Power Outage [10-25 Extra]

"Time to save my work." Jimmy said to himself as he stopped typing his story on his computer. He saved the story, and got up to make some coffee. When he finished, the lights went out. "What the...hello?" He asked, expecting a response. Of course, nobody responded. "There's always a power outage...I hate it." Jimmy mumbled to himself. Suddenly, an odd noise spread throughout the house. It sounded like footsteps.

Jimmy grabbed a kitchen knife and a flashlight. "Please...tell me who's there." He said, his voice shaking. There was a creak throughout the house. Not a normal creak. Someone else was there. Jimmy carefully and quietly walked towards the bathroom, where the first noise had come from. It had sounded like someone was trying to leave the bathroom. Jimmy, being careful, walked into the room. He readied the knife. "NO!" A woman screamed. Jimmy dug the knife into her shoulder, cracking a bone. She screamed in pain. "Where are the others?!" He yelled at her. "I don't know others!" She yelled back. She grasped the knife, trying to pull it out of her shoulder. "There are others here!" He yelled back at her. She let go of the knife stuck in her shoulder. "B-behind you..." She said quietly. He turned around. "Hey, what are you...NO!" He screamed for help, but there was none.

Jimmy Bonderloz was found in his home 1 week after an odd power outage, dead. He was stabbed in the eye and left alone to die. His neighbor, Ron Salmandor, decided to check on him after a while of his house being silent. A woman by the name of Joan Pearl was found running from the house and was taken to the hospital to remove the knife lodged in her shoulder. When asked about the murder, she said, "He was investigating a power outage...and I...I tried to stay quiet where I was. I lived in his bathroom for 2 months before he found me because I had nowhere else to go."
