It goes to show that controlling the topic for 100 Words Or Les Nessman doesn't always result in a good story. This time, I was supposed to write about a key that I didn't know where it went to.
Nigel tapped Middle C again.Still nothing.
He lifted the green piano's lid and checked the striker and the wire. Everything worked fine.
But he didn't hear anything when he hit Middle C.
B played. D played. Every other note played.
But not Middle C.
Nigel blew out the candelabra and hit Middle C again.
Of course it wasn't that, he thought. That would have been silly.
Nigel tried another piano. Middle C worked just fine.
He went back to the green piano, lifted the lid, and plucked Middle C.
Perfectly tuned.
He hit the key again.
Nothing at all.
So where does it go?
