Bow before me

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 85980

The explosion-propelled violin bow flies through the alley behind a music store, where several workers are busy loading double basses (which for plot purposes have been left out of their cases) on a truck. By sheer coincidence (and authorial fiat) the bow bounces off the strings of several instruments, playing a different tone on each.

A young hopeful composer, who has gone for a walk to get over his writer's block (composer's block,whatever), hears the theme he has been searching after for weeks. With a triumphant shout of "Yes!" he spins around to run home and write down the theme before he forgets it.

  1. Unfortunately his spin is off and he runs smack into the wall.
  2. The flying bow bounces off a wall and goes straight through his head, perforating both eardrums thus making him deaf for the duration, but miraculously missing any vital parts of his brain.
  3. Too preoccupied to look both ways, he runs into the street in front of a chocolate syrup tanker.
  4. He reaches Maybury Hill, and in the dim coolness of his home he writes an account for the newspaper.
  5. He explodes.
  6. One of the workers, who is mortally afraid of shouting composers, wets his pants.
  7. Never mind that jerk, follow the bow!
