A man pumps up an inflatable doll. He drops the doll into thick oil. He
sets fire to the oil. The oil burns; the doll burns. Sunrise over the fens.
The man is burning. A woman says do you want small medium or large? A man
says large. The woman says drink here or take out? The man says a large
squarish area of brown, striated, a silk scarf partially embedded in the
paint. The edges of the scarf stick out, retaining and showing off their
original colours. That'll be sixty pence, says the frame. The wall pays,
saying thank you. You're more than welcome. Have a nice day, says the wall
clock; and a table walks out. Obstructing the doors causes delay and can be
dangerous. Same charge. All in one attraction or some such phrase is
overpainted rapidly.
