start silence(thirty seconds); sound of distant tremble and roll, soft drum, roll, sound of momentum gathering, faster roll, loud drum, out of control.
Sound of enormous onion rolling and thundering down a steep hill, all the time sounding faster, steeper and more ferocious, forty five seconds gathering to orchestra crescendo then gasps nay screams cars beep and screech, crash, bang etcetera\- sound of onion hitting wall at speed, exploding skin, bursting acidy juice, mush and slime, flying layers stick to cars and envelope passers by.
on impact of onion there are sounds of muffled yells from within, melee of post collision subsides followed by sound of man emerging from the surviving onion layers that saved him, sounds of him shaking off like a dog, juice running, gasps ensue; sound of man getting unsteadily to his feet, sounds of dizziness , confusion and pain; sound of him struggling to maintain his balance and him balling his eyes out, interrupted by the sound of a very fast oncoming large vegetable, so fast in fact that it sounds too fast to identify, screech, thud, noises of too late, sad music (ten seconds), silence becomes sound of onlookers mournfully munching shards of raw onion, sounding like they are safe in the knowledge that it is good for their blood, fades to conceited silence, end

From there I thought thoughts fishy as you can imagine until I found myself swimming as best as one can in the confines of a tin, to the kitchen door. My fish gut then led me to the direction of the stairs and eventually up said said stairs, and toward the bedroom, outside of which and in spite of my newfound fishy senses, I could detect all manner of odours, from the curious to the depraved, but none smell of Portugal’s finest, wriggled into the door and opened with fins and there she was a young vixen of whom I had the previous evening entertained, upright on the bed, gorging on the final sardine and naked but for the spicy tomato sauce and fish oil that adorned her blossoming young body like a wound, “I should have known it would be you, you insatiable minx” I tried to boom authoritatively from my belly on the floor. Nothing came from my gill but a bubble. Bubble and wiggle
