Chapter 1

Blackout

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

Clicking noises could be heard, echoing off the walls.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

Lightening flashed, thunder cracked, and rain dripped down every wall, every window.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

A luminious light only revealed his big brown eyes and black hair.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

He looked back at the only door in the room nervously, as if he expected something to come through.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

He continued to press buttons on the peice of technology he depended on to keep his secrets safe.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

He shivered.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

He breathed heavily.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

He blinked quickly.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

He looked back, gasping in fear, then turned back to his work.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

Something creaked.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

Something growled.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

Something moved about.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

He was oblivious.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

It rustled papers.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

It was silent.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

It was almost invisible.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

He spun and gasped, hearing a floorboard squeek.

Silence.

Lightening flashed.

He gasped, then screamed. But his cries were muffled out my thunder.

His enteries fell to the ground and shattered. His laptop.

Pain shot up his body slowly. What was he going to do? No help, no noise, no one would know, no one could know.

He was alone.

No.

He was gone.
