Reminds me of sitting on a balcony in Florida as a man rides his bike down the street with an 8′ ladder across the back. You immediately want to know the story behind it. As always, loved your selected quote!

…now it’s in a remote location. I would only need the remote during a train programme to turn up the volume- if it’s not already all the way up:)

Ohhh, I am definitely using this as a prompt for my creative writing students. “You’re walking down the street and almost trip on this remote control. Who’s is it? Why’s it there? What happened?” 🙂
I could go even further and say “You discover the battery is dead, but when you press the remote button hard, something happens… WHAT?”
