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

She hurried to the door. “Who’s there?”
“It’s me!”
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.”
Eric let out a soft chuckle.

“This neighborhood is really run–down…” Eric grumbled.
Visibly annoyed, he then questioned, “Why do you have to stay in such a place?”
Hadley chose not to respond directly to his criticism. Shifting the focus, she asked, “Did you need something by
