Move Light Switch Without Rewiring Novels & Stories

I paused and gazed at it, “I should get the electrician to fix this tommorow.” Luca rose up, he was on his phone until I walked in. “I think I can fix it, do you have spare bulbs here?” He asked. I stared at him oddly before answering, “Yes, yes I do. There are a few left somewhere here.” I searched around and soon found them in a drawer. After handing it to Luca, I watched as he climbed on the chairs and swapped the old bulbs for the new ones. The lights stopped flickering now, the problem was fixed.

He looked less like a university student today, wearing a simple henley and jeans, his sleeves rolled up to reveal forearms corded with lean muscle. "Good morning to you too, Aria," he said, turning a screwdriver. "And unlikely. The power to this circuit is cut. I'm rerouting the feed. The motion sensors in the garden were creating a feedback loop. That's why the lights kept flickering in the nursery." I blinked. "You fixed the lights?" "Among other things," he said, climbing down the ladder with fluid grace. He wiped his hands on a rag. "Lucian mentioned Adrian was having trouble sleeping. The strobe effect from the faulty wiring probably wasn't helping."

Again, nothing. I shook my head and proceeded to open the door. It creaked on its hinges, and I palmed the wall for the light switch, finding it, but no light came on. I tried to hit the switch again, toggling it up and down. No florescent. I knew it wasn’t the bulb. Dad had just replaced all of them when we first moved in. “Stupid old house with its stupid old wiring.” I threw the boxes haphazardly forward, hoping they would land in some kind of order.

He smiled, and I swore in that moment, nothing else mattered. Later that night, as I wandered into my enormous, borderline ridiculous bedroom, I realized something horrifying: I didn't know how to turn off the lights. There were no switches. Just sleek little panels that made weird beeping sounds when I touched them. After five minutes of frantic button-pushing, I managed to plunge the room into darkness. And then, of course, couldn't figure out how to turn on the bedside lamp. "Fantastic," I muttered. "I live in a mansion and I'm about to sleep with my phone flashlight like a medieval peasant."

she whispered like it was a dungeon where I buried the bodies. I flipped on the overhead light and she smiled. I held up a finger, walked forward, and flipped on the kitchen light. They were LED and used little energy. The steps didn’t have a light but using a solar one, I started down. There were only five stairs, each a little taller than standard steps.

Now it was time to act… I blocked all cameras on my floor with a few-minute recording of a steady image. Then I walked to the passage, opened the door, and cautiously closed it behind me. My heart began to thunder. This was insanity, but this could also work. Sucking in a sharp breath, I noticed a light switch hidden beneath a thin layer of dust. I held my breath as I flipped it, hoping I wouldn't cause a short circuit… A second passed, and a long row of lightbulbs shone, illuminating the corridor and stairs.

“Lights are here,” Chase said, leading me and Kayden into a small office at the far end of the garage. We had to follow him inside so that he could close the door and show us a panel of switches on the wall right behind it. “All the bays have separate switches, but it’s easiest just to do them all at once—pull this big lever on the side and it’ll flip ’em all.” Kayden and I nodded in unison. Then Chase said goodnight and made haste outside, no doubt eager to get back to his wife.

I’d kill for a hot shower right now. “What do you mean?” Thorne looks up at the lantern above us. “There’s no light switches. I can’t hear that little… that little buzz of electricity that you don’t notice is there until it’s gone.” Thorne gives me an odd look then glances back up at the lantern as he leans back in his chair, crossing an ankle over a knee. “I never really gave it much thought. They just turn on.” “That’s weird,” I tell him, unease rippling over my skin. “Is it magic?”

It might not matter now, but it will. I swipe at the light switch as I step inside, but nothing happens. I stumble into the dark room, my arm outstretched in front of me until I find the nightstand. There's a lamp bolted to the top of the little wooden table, and I tug at the chain. The bulb buzzes to life, filling the room with soft yellow light. I glance around and immediately wish I hadn't.

he said, his voice low. I turned to him. “What is it?” “We switch off the lights.” It made sense. In the dark, they wouldn't see us coming. But I frowned, “How would we know where the switch is in this big mansion?” Dave didn’t answer. Instead, he pointed behind me. I turned slowly and nearly laughed. Right on the wall beside us was a switchboard. “God is definitely on our side tonight,” I muttered. Dave moved quickly and disabled the switch with precision, making sure it couldn’t be fixed anytime soon.
