Arlene had the misfortune of breaking her horn.
This happened right before her retirement, and she did not want to
buy a new instrument. She just ineffectively tried to rent one from Graham, an
instrument salesman. Anxious and worried, Arlene was haunted by recurring
nightmares. She envisioned herself as a ghostly skeleton playing the Chinese horn. Even worse, she performed
together with a skeleton that resembled her late husband Lonnie who played scary music on a fiddle. After several sleepless nights,
Arlene decided to seek some help from psychotherapist Dave.
Fortunately, Richard and Wayt who
used to play horns on the opera stage, let Arlene play one of their
used horns (whenever horn playing was not a part of the opera score),
so Arlene could sleep well again. |
