The Flashlight

Last weekend, my friends and I had a sleepover. We ate junk food and played video games until midnight. At about the time we were going to sleep, we heard a noise coming from the basement. We went to the closet, took my dad's flashlight, and crept to the basement to find the source of the noise. When we didn't find anything, we decided to go to sleep. In the morning, my dad needed the flashlight to fix a broken pipe in the basement. He went to the closet to get the flashlight only to notice that the batteries had died because we had left it on all night.

What was the cause of the dead batteries?

• We stayed up too late playing video games.

• We didn't return the flashlight to the closet.

• We forgot to turn off the flashlight when we put it back in the closet.
