What’s all the racket? What are you doing in there?
<creak>
Why is the light off?

Why... Why were you standing in the middle of the room in total darkness? Why was the cat hissing at you? Why did he dash out?
I think I might have smacked his tail while I was feeling around on the floor for my phone.
What was it doing down on the floor?
I dropped it when I banged my shin on the coffee table in the dark.
Is that when the bottle of wine got knocked over?
What - oh hell...
And made the puddle on the floor?
Bugger...

...yes, something else you read on pink frog...
...fish!...
...like needing a special rug to “tie the room together”...
...it really works!...
Well, I hope it still works with a huge red stain on it! I’m leaving you to it. Enjoy the music. And the blackout.

No wait, I haven’t taken the photo yet. Don’t turn the lights out, I still haven’t found my phone!
<crack>
Oh shit.
