• Help me write a story - what happens to a 9 year old in the dark?

I'm running out of ideas - I need a good catch to a story I'm supposed to illustrate later on. For the synopsis - what's supposed to happen to a 9 year old who is home alone when the electricity goes? It could even be supernatural stuff or things that don't make sense at all. Help me, FP.
A nine year old wouldn't be very interesting. Though if it's light out they wouldn't care, but if it's dark out they'd shit bricks until the sun comes back up.
Well, it has to be a 9 year old, don't really have an option there.
He walks through an old wardrobe into a strange new world, full of lions, witches and wardrobes.
Lights a match only to see a disfigured human crawling on the ceiling a few feet in front of him with a little snarl at the light. It begins to reach for the match and the kid runs. Then I don't know.

Joking or not, I'd prefer to avoid blatant ripoffs.

You could mix horror and fantasy. Kinda Pans Labyrinth or something. He could find a guardian of sorts.
^ Sure. He could also be visited by the ghost of John Lennon on his anniversary, where he shows how his horrible taste in music corrupts children or something (?) Actually, that's a terrible idea.
Rape.
