A winter storm in Maine had already made for a quiet day indoors.

When the kitchen breaker tripped during lunch, it seemed like nothing more than a minor inconvenience. Like countless times before, he headed downstairs to the apartment building's basement to switch the power back on and get on with his day.

Instead, a routine trip turned into an experience he still thinks about years later.

What makes the story so unsettling isn't that it happened in the middle of the night.

It didn't. It happened in the middle of the afternoon, in a basement he'd visited many times before, while his brother was only a floor away. And after what happened there, he never looked at that basement the same way again.
