Lara bolted up in bed, her eyes wide and trying desperately to adjust to the dark. The fire in the fireplace had dwindled down to a few embers and there was a decisive chill in the air. She hurried to reach over to the lamp on the nightstand and turn it on, but it didn’t work. She scrambled across the bed to the other light and turned the switch—nothing.

Had the generator gone out again? The lights had been on when she had returned to her room after supper. How long ago was that? Had she slept several hours? Was it near morning?

Reluctantly, she left the warm bed, glad she had slept in her socks and stumbled around the room in search of her purse. She might not be able to get a signal, but her cell phone would still show the time.

After a few bumps to the chins and ankles and a couple of ouches, she found her purse and a quick search inside produced her phone. It read 2:00 a.m. and then went dead.

“Damn,” she muttered. She might not have a signal now, but as soon as she was able to get one she wanted the phone working.

There was no point in plugging it in this room when the electricity was unreliable. Downstairs was her best bet, since the electricity had held firm there. After locating her charger and managing to find the purple robe she had on earlier, she went to the door, opened it, and stepped out.

It was so dark that she couldn’t see a thing and a twinge of fear engulfed her.

Calm down, she silently told herself. All you have to do is turn left, hug the wall until you come to the end and proceed forward slowly until you feel the top step of the stairs. Once you make it down the curve in the stairs, you’re bound to see the light from the floor below.

Holding tightly to her courage, she stepped out of her room. Her toe caught on the edge of the hall runner and she stumbled and fell to her knees, her cell phone and charger flying out of her hands.

Lara frantically searched around on her hands and knees and sighed with relief when she found both of them. She got to her feet and was about to turn left when she realized she wasn’t sure of her direction.

Don’t panic. Don’t panic. It’s a hallway. At one end is the stairs, the other Michael’s room. If you should reach his room, you only need to turn around and go the other way.

Her sensible, silent urging did not stop her heart from pounding, but it also did not stop her feet from moving. She took cautious steps until, to her relief, she touched the wall. She halted a moment and took a deep breath, knowing she’d be fine now no matter which way she went.

After a few steps, she grew more confident and picked up the pace, tightly hugging the wall as she went.
