In the beginning, there was darkness… And then the light bulb turned on!

“Hey, what’s that?” said a squishy voice, deep down inside.

“I dunno. Should we eat it?” gulped another, deeper, hankering voice.

Then a thumping, confident voice spoke up.

“I don’t think that’s food. I think it’s… an idea!”

The two deeper voices screamed, “An.. IDEA?!”

“I think so. But it’s been so long since I’ve seen the light turn on up there. I’m not sure.” swooshed the thumping voice.

“It’s blinding… but beautiful.” said the squishy voice.

“I’d like it better if I could eat it.” the hankering voice wasn’t so impressed.

Then the thumping voice noticed something moving.

“We’re going somewhere!”

“Then we better get fed soon!” said the squishy and hankering voices in unison.

“Let me send a message up to the boss. Maybe he doesn’t realize how long it’s been!” The thumping voice pumped and pushed and squeezed a message up to the head office.

The three looked expectantly at each other, waiting.

Then a slinky, winky messenger sauntered in, fragrant with sultry, cerebral chemistry.

“Hello, boys. It’s been too long. The big guy upstairs says, ‘Got big plans for you. Buckle up. Gonna need your full support soon. Supper is on its way. Stand by.’ Got it?”

Then as fast as she arrived, she whisked away.

“I told you it was all about food.” The hankering voice was still unfulfilled.

The squishy voice said, “well, at least it was some good news. I wonder what plans he has for us!”

The thumping voice thumped and skipped a beat, “Oh dear, excuse me. Sometimes those bright ideas make me flutter. Okay, my twin brothers - yeah, you too - better start sucking more air!”

The light flickered overhead and then more bulbs flashed. Halogen. Fluorescent. Incandescent! Floodlights!! It was time for work. All the voices inside knew then that this would be a fantastic journey.
