IT WAS A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT
Bob Hill and his new
wife Betty were vacationing in Europe.....as it happens,
near Transylvania . They were driving in a rental car along
a rather deserted highway. It was late at night and raining
very hard with thunder and lightning.
Bob could barely see
the road in front of the car. Suddenly, the car skids
out of control! Bob attempts to control the car, but to no
avail! The car swerves and smashes into a tree.
Moments later, Bob
shakes his head to clear the fog. Dazed, he looks over
at the passenger seat and sees his wife unconscious, with
her head bleeding! Despite the rain and unfamiliar
countryside, Bob knows he has
to get her medical
assistance. Bob carefully picks
his wife up and begins trudging down the road. After a short
while, he sees a light. He heads towards the
light, which is coming from a large, old
house.
He approaches the
door and knocks.
A minute passes and
a small, hunched old man opens the door. Bob immediately
blurts, "Hello, my name is Bob Hill, and this is my wife
Betty. We've been in a terrible accident, and my
wife has been seriously hurt. Can I please use your
phone?"
"I'm
sorry," replied the hunchback, "but we
don't have a phone. But my master is a doctor; come in,
and I will get him!"
Bob brings his wife in.
An older man comes down the stairs. "I'm
afraid my assistant may have misled you. I am not a medical
doctor; I am a scientist.. However, it is many miles to the
nearest clinic, and I have had a
basic medical training. I
will see what I can do. Igor, bring them down to the
laboratory.”
With that, Igor
picks up Betty and carries her downstairs, with Bob
following closely.. Igor places Betty on a table in the lab.
Bob collapses from exhaustion and his own injuries, so Igor
places Bob on an adjoining table.
After a brief
examination, Igor's master looks
worried. "Things are
serious, Igor. Prepare a
transfusion."
Igor and his master
work feverishly, but to no
avail , and Bob and Betty
Hill both passed away.
The Hills'
deaths upset Igor's master greatly. Wearily, he climbs
the steps to his conservatory, which houses his grand piano.
For it is here that he has always
found solace. He begins to play,
and a stirring, almost haunting melody fills the
house.
Meanwhile, Igor is still in the lab tidying up. His eyes catch
movement, and he notices the fingers on
Betty's hand twitch, keeping time to the haunting piano
music. Stunned, he watches as Bob's arm begins to rise,
marking the beat! He is further amazed as Betty and Bob both
sit up straight! Unable to contain
himself, he dashes up the stairs to the
conservatory. He Bursts in and
Shouts to his Master,
"Master,
Master"
"The Hills are
Alive with the Sound of Music!"
I am Sooo Sorry..... But
You Really Should've Seen That
Coming!!
