Let’s say the UK goes dark overnight.

No signal.
No internet.
No broadcasts.

You’ve been sitting upstairs in silence for the last hour after hearing movement outside the house.

Then you hear someone trying the back gate.

Slowly.

Metal scraping.
Then footsteps on the patio.

You look through the upstairs window and see your neighbour standing near the kitchen door.

But something feels wrong immediately.

They’re not calling out.
Not knocking.
Not reacting to the cold.

Just standing there staring at the house.

A few seconds later the kitchen door handle starts moving.

What are you actually doing in that situation?

Staying quiet upstairs?

Trying to speak to them?

Leaving through the front?

Or assuming things have already gone very bad?
