Scene 1: The Golf Course of Cosmic Consequences
[Setting: A pristine golf course that seems to teeter between reality and a dreamscape. The sky shifts subtly, stars peeking through blue clouds. Innu, God of Innuendo, lines up her shot with an exaggerated sway, her golf club absurdly adorned with rhinestones. Imri, God of Implications, adjusts her visor with practiced elegance, her focus unshakable. Candi lounges in the golf cart, sipping a neon cocktail. A red umbrella leans inexplicably against the golf bag.]
Innu (smirking, winking at Imri): “It’s not about the size of the swing, darling. It’s how you use it.”
Candi (rolling her eyes): “Do you have a single thought that isn’t flirtation in disguise?”
Imri (grinning): “She doesn’t need one. Every swing is a masterclass in innuendo.”
[Their banter is interrupted by a mortal’s panicked cry from a nearby hill.]
Mortal (yelling): “Help! There’s a dead guy over here! Somebody call an ambulance!”
Scene 2: The Corpse Conundrum
[The gods wander over, golf clubs in hand, Candi trailing with her cocktail. A man lies sprawled on the grass, pale and unmoving. The mortal paces nearby, panic written all over his face.]
Mortal: “He’s gone. We need to do something—call someone!”
“Corpse” (weakly, raising a hand): “I’m not dead yet.”
Mortal (stopping mid-step, blinking): “…What?”
“Corpse” (sitting up slightly): “I said, I’m not dead yet. Bit dizzy, sure, but far from deceased.”
[Imri crouches by the "corpse," her eyes sparkling with curiosity.]
Imri: “Interesting. You’re lying here as though death itself claimed you, yet clinging to life’s implications.”
Innu (leaning over, smirking): “Maybe he’s just teasing us. Flirting with mortality.”
[Candi pokes the "corpse" with her golf club, drawing a weak grunt. T.Pratchett, the goat, appears from nowhere, nibbling on the red umbrella.]

Scene 3: A Sprawling Narrative on Death
[Conundrum, God of Conundrums, strides in, spinning his golf club like a cane, his voice booming as the scene shifts subtly. The golf course morphs: the sand traps become vast deserts, water hazards transform into shimmering rivers, and flags on the greens rise like ethereal beacons.]
Conundrum: “Ah, death—the ultimate conundrum. Not here, not there, but always lurking between. Consider, my dear audience, the journey of life as a round of golf: the first swing, a birth into the unknown; the sand trap, despair; the water hazard, rebirth; and finally, the green, where the flag flutters as the eternal transcendence.”
[The mortal waves frantically, trying to interrupt.]
Mortal: “That’s great and all, but shouldn’t someone check his pulse?!”
[Imri stands, gesturing toward the transformed course with a serene smile.]
Imri: “The sand trap of despair can only hold you if you forget the power of implication. A single swing can rewrite fate.”
Innu (leaning on her club): “And the swing, of course, is all in the hips.”
["Corpse" coughs, struggling to sit up fully.]
“Corpse”: “Honestly, I feel fine now. Bit of a scare, but nothing permanent.”
Scene 4: Chaos Unleashed
[Candi tosses a golf ball into the air; T.Pratchett promptly eats it. The mortal stares in disbelief as the goat bleats and nudges the red umbrella toward the "corpse."]
Mortal: “What is with this goat?! And why is nobody taking this seriously?”
Candi (grinning): “Oh, we are. Just not in the way you’d expect.”
[The "corpse" uses the red umbrella to stand, wobbling but alive. He pats T.Pratchett on the head, a moment of clarity dawning.]
“Corpse”: “You know, I think I’ll take up golf. Feels like it could teach me something.”
Scene 5: Saxophone Finale
[As the gods return to their game, the golf course begins to shift back to normal. Just as Innu lines up another shot, the soulful sound of a saxophone drifts through the air. The sax player strolls onto the fairway, tipping his hat at the group.]
Sax Player: “Death’s just another tune to play, isn’t it?”
[He starts a slow, mournful melody, the notes floating across the course as the gods pause to listen. The mortal stares, dumbfounded, as T.Pratchett trots off, umbrella in tow.]
Candi (to Innu): “You think he ever misses a chance to be dramatic?”
Innu (swinging her club): “Wouldn’t be any fun if he did.”
[The sax player’s tune crescendos as the scene fades to black.]
