The Deadly Birthday Wish
I am a third-grade elementary school student. Today is my 9th birthday. After I get home from school, the house is completely silent, but I know Mom and Dad must be hiding to prepare a surprise for me. I walk into the dark dining room, and see a large cake on the table, with 9 lit candles stuck in it. I happily make a wish, then take a deep breath and blow hard to put out all 9 candles. The moment the candles go out and the whole room falls into total darkness, I let out a terrified scream, turn around and run, but it is already too late. What happened?

Why did the child feel terrified after the candles went out?
