"Let there be light!" cried God, and there was light, and it was good.
That was the theory, anyway.
What actually happened was that God cried "Let there be light!" and the angel said, "What color?"
"What?" said God, momentarily startled.
"What color?" said the angel cheerfully. "We got Smoky Reddish, Pale Eerie, and Warm and Sunny, we got spotlights, strobe lights, large ornamental chandeliers-"
"Light!" said God. "You know, lighty light! The light kind!"
"Glow-in-the-dark?" asked the angel.
"There is no dark without the light!" God explained. "That's the whole point!"
"So what're we standing in?" asked the angel, mildly interested. "Shadowy Light Just Before Dawn? That's a very popular type, we get lots of orders for-"
"We aren't-you aren't-just aren't," God clarified. "Do you have any Universal Light of Wisdom and, you know, general Light?"
"I'm sorry, sir, we've just run out," said the angel politely. "The new shipment is heading in soon, or You could order one from one of our other branches."
"How long?" asked God.
"Well," said the angel, looking slightly nervous, "they can't be a certain length, because they aren't literal branches, as of such, you know, more like other businesses, but still us, like-"
"How long for it to arrive," God said, staring up at where the sky would be, sooner or later.
"Ten to twelve months," said the angel cheerfully. "Price includes costoforderingandshippingplustaxandextrataxbecauseofthe-"
God rested His forehead against the nonexistent wall. "Just get it here."
"That'll be one thousand fifty dollars," the angel said promptly. "Notincludingcostofinstallmentorshippingorextrataxcausewefeellikeitor-"
God sighed deeply. It was going to be a long Genesis.
