It was Christmas night and we were opening the last of our presents by the now dying fire, when suddenly, darkness enveloped the room. The fire went out instantly. I ran outside where we parked our vehicles and into the garage. I wrenched open the small chest full with dads head torches, I grabbed a few and raced back to the lounge. When I turned them on I saw my family was missing. I turned round hoping they would jump up and turn the lights back on. That never happened. I started to panic, the whole town was gone too.
