Situation

The can rolled down the driveway. He picked up the paper bag full of groceries and placed it in his car.He reached to get the can back, when he turned he could not see it. It must have rolled under the car, he thought to himself. He bent over to only find three leaves flowing with the cold breeze. It was getting dark so it would be difficult to look for the can now. He closed the trunk of his two door sedan and carried the rest of the groceries into his home.
He oponed the door, switched the living room lights on with his elbow and proceeded to the kitchen where the lights went on in the same manner. He droped the bags onto the counter and went for a glass of water. He opened the cupboard then noticed something by the toaster.It was the can. At first it seemed normal to see such an item in the kitchen but then remembered he had dropped it. So how in the world did it get there? He arched his arm over to get it but at that same moment the lights went out, he cought nothing.
It´s no time to panic but this is getting freaky, he thought to himself. He looked outside through the kitchen window to see if anyone else had lost power. But all the houses he could see were still glowing. He headed over to the power box by the staircase and on his way tried the lights, the switch was down, so he turned it up. The kitchen was lit again.
Once the lights go on he sees that the grocery bags were missing and the food was spread over the counters. He panicked. He ran for the phone and dialled 911 but only to hear someone say say on the other line "Joe's Pizza". He repeated the call for the police but all he could hear was a lawn mower. The lights whent out and then back on. The phone hung loose over the counter. He was gone.
