As told by Jake Johnstone:
From the point of view of an old man reflecting … … … …
Jetta telling Ol’ wife of his Gretta this strange remembrance … memory … stream …
” R.B.B. [Road Ball Bounce] “
” Road Ball Bounce Day I call it! Not a terrific day I recall it! Just a day that had too much malarkey. Bologna! Too much nonsense I tell ya! Bologna! So… it all started with a George Clooney movie I saw at the local library hall that day. I leave and walk the whole way mind you … OK … Where was I? … “
” The George Clooney movie you left the library watching. A Red Ball Bounce Day you called it?”
” Ah! Yes! Now I remember … “
” The ball was red and the bounce was constant. Like a kid with no care for the wear, … I followed this red ball that was bouncing … all the way to Marks-Nicholson Street … “
” And … what happens next? … “
” … I continue following the red ball bouncing … “
[ Jetta says this while deeply concentrating leaning on his wrist … Snapping frozen out of it … ]
” I feel. I felt as if the ball captivated me frozen. I recall drowning. I know I didn’t but the red ball bouncing mesmerized me like I was teleported away from this reality. The red mist was. No the red in the vision was allowing me. No collection of a sense that is sensible I recall here Gretta … ” …
” Continue please Jetta! I’m honestly interested; captivated even!”
” Oh no, it’s fine my good honey! It’s just all so … unbelievable what’s in my memory banks on this red ball bounce?” …
” So… where we again Jetta?!!”
” As my eyes see red everywhere I see unfortunate events!!!”
” Unfortunate Events with a Dave Ranchero! Some story including four parts!”…
” Oh do tell?!” … … …
TO BE CONTINUED … iN …
” The Unfortunate Times W/ Dave Parts 21-24 “
