We'd just arrived at our cottage that afternoon. I was watching TV in the bedroom. My husband was listening to the radio in the living room area. I heard a click, followed by him saying the light went off.
We did some investigating. The lights, TV and everything worked in the bedroom. The bathroom light worked. Everything worked in the spare bedroom.
Going back to the kitchen I checked the microwave, refrigerator, and other items. They all worked. Was it the fanlight? We had a new roof installed while we were gone. Maybe the pounding jarred the connection for the fanlight.
Then it dawned on my husband. Maybe it was the lightbulb. He got a new one out, did an exchange, flipped the switch and, what do you know, the light turned on!
You can have fun with something like this in writing by leading readers astray. Just don't insult their intelligence by providing easy solutions when more involved ones will leave them better satisfied.
