He should shout for help
at the top of his voice. I expect he will
have opened the window to allow for sufficient ventilation whilst using paint,
as prescribed in most health and safety manuals. That’s probably how the bee got in.
Shouting loudly can
be quite exhausting and may conspire to hasten his demise.
If he times it right
it will be more effective. For example,
when the milkman comes.
If the owners have
gone on holiday they will have cancelled the milk delivery.
What’s the problem? If the tingling in his arms is a sign of
returning circulation, it is only a matter of time before he can drag himself
worm-like to the door and make good his escape.
He should have developed good upper body strength from fixing leaky taps
and painting shelves.
I would describe his
movement more akin to a butterfly dragging itself out of a chrysalis rather
than a worm’s longitudinal muscle contraction.
And the act of escaping a newly painted room could be compared to that
of emerging from the cocoon.
I’m sorry to say
that the tingling probably signifies a restriction of blood flow due to his
back injury. I suspect that before long gangrene will set in and he will feel
obliged to self-amputate both arms using the paint scraper he claims to own. Like in that movie 127 hours. He may even have to drink his own urine.
Davy Jones? Wasn’t he in the sixties band “The Monkees?”
Weird! Last week I met a guy in a gloomy basement
underneath a house in Germany
