A quick check of the house shows no damage and no break-ins, though deep tracks are dug into your front lawn, and blood is splattered across the trunk of the closest spruce tree.

You walk into the kitchen and see the blinking 12:00 on the microwave clock, which confirms the power outage last night. You yank open the refrigerator door—the inside is dark and warm. Of course, with no electricity for part of the night, the refrigerator lost its coldness. Normally, a closed fridge would stay cold for a while, so the electricity must have been off for quite some time. As you look through the shelves and drawers, you smell some spoiled leftovers and do a quick count of what's left. 351 portions of food are still edible.
