    The document describes a man finding a silver cigarette lighter in his pocket. He uses it to turn off nearby street lamps with clicks of the lighter. Twice he clicks it to extinguish lamps, until only two pinpricks of light remain in the distance. If anyone looked outside, they wouldn't be able to see due to the darkness. The man slips the lighter back inside his cloak and speaks to a house without looking at it.
