Lights off

It was a dark and stormy night. I was in my favourite coffee shop. Only me and the shop assistant were there. Suddendly, the lights switched off. Although it was very dark I could realize that the shop assistant wasn't there anymore. I was feeling nervous and scared. Soon, the lights switched back on. And also the assistant was back there. "How strange!", I thought. I was trembling... I asked the shop assistant what had happened.

With an evil grin on her face she answered: "The lights went off then I went to the kitchen to turn on the emergency lights.

I was feeling like an idiot.
