Ever since her husband died, Susan felt a little less safe in their brown brick townhouse. They had always wanted to live in the city together, so they saved up what they could to buy a fixer-upper in a blossoming neighborhood.

Then George got sick.

Before very long, Susan was on her own again. She wanted to hang on to the good memories of that house, feeling confident that she and her neighbors were driving the bad element off the block.

Still, she always made sure she was prepared for the worst. And when the lights went out on her during a really violent thunderstorm, she shuffled downstairs to the broom closet for her favorite flashlight, a gadget George had bought for her for their last Christmas together.

Sixteen and a half inches long, but still very light, Susan loved how it brightened up a room. She turned it on, and looked for her emergency radio. Red and blue lights flickered through the windows, so Susan figured that the power would come back soon.

As she swiveled around, the bright beam of light illuminated a strange face. Susan gasped.

"Don’t make a sound," growled the stranger, "or I’ll hurt you."

It didn’t even take Susan a heartbeat to lunge forward with the flashlight. Her attacker grinned, expecting to deflect a blow. Instead, he received a 200,000-volt jolt of electricity from the flashlight’s built-in stun baton. Susan loved that flashlight for a reason.

Rushing over to the window, she activated the flashlight’s piercing alarm. Cops outside saw her waving the light and rushed up to her building. She found out later that her attacker was a convicted criminal who tried to escape when his prisoner transport vehicle crashed into a utility pole.

That explained the blackout - and the presence of this scary individual in Susan’s home. The police sergeant had a blast explaining to the detectives how Susan used an innocent looking flashlight to nab one of the city’s most wanted felons. And Susan felt George’s presence in their home even stronger than ever.

Yours in safety, Mitch McDonald
