This is not about The Dark by Robert Munsch, although it could be. If you don’t know this story, you should get to know it. I had the opportunity to get vary familiar with Bob Munsch stories growing up because I lived in the same condo complex as him and his family.

In the process it took out the power line in backyard and pulled the line out of the transformer a couple of houses over, which meant everyone in our block lost power.
