Synchronicity

The town of Dunwich disappeared beneath the sea. You can still hear the church bells ringing underwater when the tide is right.

One night in 1980 the ringing was so loud that no one who lived near the coast could sleep. It was a noise like a wisdom tooth. The people gathered together and said, "We must hire someone to dive down there and muffle the bells."

"They will replace the clappers with pillows."

"They will line the bells with porridge."

"They will wear a diving helmet shaped like a bell and in that way achieve synchronicity."

As they were speaking, a figure swam down from the sky.

Before reascending it stole all of their doorbells.
