The Secret Switch

I slipped through the cracked front door into the quiet, carpeted hallway. Total stillness. Suddenly, the overhead bulb clicked off—pure darkness! I froze in place. Slowly, I lifted both arms to test the shadowy air, and SNAP! The yellow light instantly flared back on, flooding the walls. Did I control that? I held my breath, standing frozen like a garden gnome until the timer ran out and swallowed the floor in blackness again. Then I stomped down with both feet. CLICK! Bright again! I spent the next ten minutes wiggling and freezing, discovering I could summon daylight out of thin air whenever I pleased.
