Write a story based on this famous excerpt from Revival by Stephen King:
He unlocked a door and led me through an office that was empty of furniture, although I could still see square clean patches on the grimy linoleum, where the legs of a desk had once stood. On the wall was a curling calendar with April 1989 showing.
The garage had a corrugated metal roof and I expect it to be banking under the September sun,but it was wonderfully cool. I could hear the wisper of air conditioner. when he flicked a bank of switchers recently modified, judging from the makeshift way the fire stuck out of the uncovered holes where the plates had been a dozen brilliant lights came on. If not for the oil darkened concrete and the rectangular caverns where two lifts had once been, you would have thought it was an operating theater.
"It must cost a fortune to air condition this place, " I said. " Especially when you've got all those lights blazing . "
" Dirt cheap. The air conditioners are my own design. They draw very little power, and most of that I generate myself. I could gener-ate all of it,but I wouldn't want Tulsa power and light down here, snooping around to find out if I was volt-jacking, somehow. As for the lights....you could wrap a hand around one of the bulbs with out burning yourself. or even heating your skin, for that matter. "
