A cryptic story.
Easy peasy!
As I have started living by myself recently, I decided to decorate my room with jigsaw puzzles.
Those are the type that, after receiving light, glow in the dark, and I really like the soft light they give off.
The other night when I returned home, the puzzles were glowing faintly in the dark,
and seeing that made me feel instantly warm and fuzzy inside, because it was as if the puzzles were welcoming me home.
I'm already itching to work on another set of puzzles.
Next time I might buy one that's the same size but has 2000 pieces.

(Unless like, they left the light on or the light's on a timer.)
This is a good one.
I got the same theory like Garrick.
Even if somehow light from outside (either sun or lamp post) filtered into the room from a window, i don't think it's enough for the puzzles to absorb.
-nunu-
1. There's someone in the house that light on the room earlier. Burglar/Killer.
OR
2. There's something supernatural phenomenon happen when he/she's leaving, like accumulation of orbs that stay in the dark, that the narrator never think of instead admiring it..If he/she's buying another 2000 pieces, be aware there'l will ve 2000 more space for orbs (spirits) to live in;)
I assume the lights got charged from when the sun shines through the window during the day?
I feel like the 'puzzles' are something else, but I can see no logical reason to think that.
I think those glowing puzzles only grow for a short while after they've absorbed light, and therefore they can't be glowing because they had absorbed sunlight during the day (I'm not so sure about this, so if there is evidence to the contrary please let me know!).
I think the answer that makes the most sense is that someone was in the room and had the lights on not long before the narrator came home.
@Farz Wolf: Do you mean that what the narrator saw weren't puzzles but glowing souls?
I thought the puzzle pieces glowing because it's absorb the light of invisible glowing soul.
Thank you for the reply.
