It's been dark for two days. The kids are edgy, whining, asking, "When's the sun coming back, mommy?" To keep their morale up, you've almost used up all your batteries. You had no idea it was going to be dark for so long. It takes light to be able to read or play board games, the kids are afraid to go to the bathroom in the dark, you have to burn the lights to keep the critters from raiding the garbage cans. You were rightly afraid to light a campfire because of the earthquakes. The world has become a dark, spooky place.
But now, lights have become a liability. You hear footsteps crunching in the leaves on the ground.
"Who's there?" you call out.
Suddenly, two shadowy figures emerge from the nearby woods. They saw your lights. Are they friend or foe?
What will you do?
