Surge

I came back up the basement stairs and went to the package. I pulled the knife out of the leather sheath. It sounded like a medieval knight pulling out his sword. I felt an electricity surge through my entire body. It made me feel quite strange. I quickly cut through the tape on the box, put the knife back in the sheath, and then stood at the door of the basement and threw it down the stairs.

I didn't know what had just happened but there's one thing I knew:

I sure as hell didn't want it to happen again.
