Suddenly the lights flickered. Then they went out. Everything in my hotel room run by electricity stopped working. It was a rainy evening and pitch black outside…and now inside.
A minute later, the lights flickered back on. For a minute or two. And then, once again, darkness returned.
The pattern repeated for ten minutes or so. I looked out the window to see if this was happening only in my room, or in the entire hotel, or in the entire area. To my annoyance, in this relatively new and quite fancy hotel and in the surrounding area, all had power but me.
