People share frightening stories about where they live

“In the first year in which it happened, all the power outages were met with comments on this topic. Everyone complains, and the neighbors scream,” O comrades also or from us only? “We are dark here too!” The same thing here! Gossip, activity, only without strength.

A few years have passed, with summer interruptions, and comments became more frightening. Stop being a note event. Just another one. There are no neighbors interacting. There are no people sitting outside anymore. Nobody benefits from barbecue instead. I just bought backups and small solar panels to keep things when it inevitably occurs.

But then one of the new neighbors moved last year with a child and a dog. The authority came out as usual. I was afraid, alone with a child. She came up with my door while I was at home alone. It was above sunset, so it was black, and she was afraid, standing on a balcony with her phone lamp, a child in a transport company, where she asked what was going on. No one else opened the door to it, no one responded to beating and calling. Her dog looked uncomfortable. I asked if she needed anything, all she wanted is to know what was happening. I told her that she was just one of the summer power outage.

He did not strike me until this interaction, which every summer, for hours every time, accepts the neighborhood in which he faces the lack of power. It is like turning off the entire neighborhood. We are ready for that and do not bother to ask each other. When people move and happen to them, they meet silence about it. If the new neighbor does not have a child with her, I’m not sure if you have answered the door. I am not skeptical of people in general, but when the authority comes out, I already assume that everyone knows and deals with it at home, so the stranger who appears immediately is not welcome and suspected. Every neighbors said the same. Usually, we aim to a large extent with people who knock on our doors, but when the strength goes in the summer, we consider them differently. Even well -known neighbors. Why are they there, the power outage cannot be, there must be something mistake.“
