    Summary

    "Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void, but out of chaos; the materials must, in the first place, be afforded: it can give form to dark, shapeless substances, but cannot bring into being the substance itself."

     

    Eddie is at his breaking point.

    The responsibility of carrying all of the electricity in the house is weighing him down, causing his chronic pain to be the worst it's ever been. He doesn't feel like he can trust anyone else in the house to help him, not that they could when he's the only one with a hold on the electricity, causing him to turn to alcohol more and more. And, above all, he feels completely alone.

    But then, in the midst of a breakdown, his reflection twists into a vision of a tall, strong man with electricity for hair. The man says three words:

    "Come find me."

    The man haunts Eddie. He knows he can't find the man by following a map or searching the house from top-to-bottom, and his energy is better spent elsewhere, anyway. But a conversation with Maggie points him in a different direction:

    What if Eddie creates the man?

    And what becomes of Eddie after he does?
