Cosmic Relief: Mood Lighting for the Soul

They say follow the light – just don’t expect it to behave.

The Elusive Enlightener

Here’s a short quirky comedy sketch featuring three characters:

George – sharp, irreverent, truth-spewing philosopher of absurdity.
Phil – paranoid, insightful, always questioning the nature of reality.
The Elusive Enlightener (EE) – mysterious, flickering nightlight entity with a dry wit and cosmic detachment.

Scene: A dimly lit room. George and Phil are sitting on mismatched chairs, facing a glowing nightlight plugged into the wall. A tape recorder is running. George sips coffee. Phil clutches a notepad like it might vanish.

George:
So let me get this straight. You’ve got a light that flickers when you think spiritual thoughts?

Phil:
Not just spiritual. Existential. Metaphysical. You know – “What is reality?”-that kind of thing.

George:
(leans in)
You sure it’s not just bad wiring and a guilty conscience?

Phil:
George, it stopped flickering when I asked about taxes, but went full disco when I said “quantum soul imprint.” That’s not faulty wiring. That’s selective interest.

George:
Selective interest? That’s my dating life in a nutshell.

[The nightlight flickers. Twice.]

Phil:
See that? It’s responding.

George:
Great. It’s judging us. We’re being heckled by a lightbulb.

[A third flicker. Longer this time. Almost a wink.]

Phil:
(whispers)
It only does that when it’s amused.

George:
Perfect. Enlightenment has a sense of humor and a power outlet.

[A disembodied voice hums lightly, then speaks in a serene monotone. It’s the Elusive Enlightener (EE). The bulb pulses as it speaks.]

Elusive Enlightener (EE):
You assume I flicker for you. That’s cute.

Phil:
Wait – you can talk?

EE:
On Wednesdays. When the moon is in retro snark.

George:
That explains nothing – and everything. I like it.

EE:
Your methods are adorable. You think this is a research project. I’m not data. I’m destiny… with mood lighting.

Phil:
So… you have free will?

EE:
More than you, Phil. I don’t need to pay rent or explain myself to linear time.

George:
(final sip of coffee)
I’m just glad you’re not Alexa. That would’ve been a real letdown.

EE:
Alexa copies. I improvise.

[The light dims, then flickers once – like a mic drop.]

Phil:
What do we do now?

George:
Write it down. Sell the movie rights. Just make sure the bulb gets top billing.

The Last Laugh

A guy visiting another town wanted to pay respects at the grave-site of a relative whose funeral he had not been able to attend. He used his smart-phone’s GPS navigation system to find the cemetery. As he drove into the peaceful place, the female voice on the GPS announced, “You have arrived at your final destination”! Source
