What was happening?
Everything around Eric was engulfed in darkness, visibility reduced to nil

As the door opened, Eric’s gaze found hers in the dim light. “Do you often have visitors? Other than that grocery store guy I saw last time, who else comes around often?”
Hadley, still a bit bewildered, shook her head. “Nobody else.”

“This neighborhood is really run–down…” Eric grumbled.
