Goodreads asked Joe Hart:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Joe Hart Hmmm, good question. When I was around 12 years old my older sister was home visiting from college. We were up late talking with only a few lights on in the house. Suddenly we both paused after hearing an almost indiscernible noise. To this day I'm not exactly sure what it was- possibly a quiet click- then the entire room, which was very dark, lit up incandescently. We were both blind for several seconds before the darkness returned as if nothing had happened. We were stunned but able to discern the power hadn't shorted out and that there were no nearby vehicles or headlights that could've caused the flash. One of the strangest things I've ever experienced in my life. Not sure it could be the plot of an entire novel but definitely an interesting short story! Thanks for the question!
