Opening Narration

Synopsis

A model ship magnate thunders about his home and office, until his ears play tricks on him.

Roswell G. Flemington was raised in a home where he could not even have cookies because cookies made too much noise. At least his mother bought brownies. So when he came of age, he went to sea, and his desire to compensate for not making enough noise is driving everyone else mad. He has collected all sorts of sea-themed noisemakers, from bells and whistles to actual recordings of sea battles.

One day, his wife has had enough of his obsession with noise and finally divorces him. Shortly after, every little noise is like an explosion, and he sees a doctor who helps him understand it is all in his head, all he needs to do is overcome the mental block, and he does. The only problem is that he goes too far in the other direction, so that now he cannot hear anything at all.
