Rural Blackout - Day 4

There is a blackout in your area. It's midnight and you are all alone when you look through your security camera to notice - a dark figure starring at you, seeking to get in.

You'll need to turn on and refuel your generator to keep the malicious intruder away with lights or bolt the windows shut. Survive until the light of a new day may rescue you from the darkness.
