There was this guy I went to school with who always wore headphones so he wouldn't have to talk to anyone. They weren't plugged in.

"The idea of hearing the noises terrified him. The violent, shrill sounds his father said, a corpse emits during cremation. That's why our hero always wore his earphones. However, when someone he loves is brutally murdered, he takes a chance and cremates the body without his earphones hoping that what he hears will reveal who the killer is and not drive him insane. What he discovers shatters everything he believed in and trusted."

you'd have to be insane already to write this drivel. maybe the writer wasn't wearing his headphones when they cremated his other queries?

You know, I'm all for taking a walk on the wild side now and then, but when it comes to toying with insanity and the shattering of everything I believe in and trust, I usually leave the music on and get my thrills by crossing after the orange hand has started flashing. On the other hand, no pain, no gain.

Well. They'll just let anyone cremate a body these days, won't they?

He discovers that she wasn't quite dead, and that no one he cremated was dead. They were all screaming, his dad's a serial killer.

If only it had some Jewish guy going into a dimly lit sexual underworld...

Turns out he's cremated like 6 people who were still alive because he couldn't hear them banging on the coffin with his damn headphones. Screwed up, man.

"The violent, shrill sounds his father said, a corpse emits during cremation."

Gee, sounds kind of like the violent, shrill sounds I make when, I see improper comma placement....or come across a little gem, of a "sentence" like this:

"However, when someone he loves is brutally murdered, he takes a chance and cremates the body without his earphones hoping that what he hears will reveal who the killer is and not drive him insane."

In other words, there are no noises and his father is a wacko.

THE END

Don't you just hate it when your father "says" sounds? It's so much preferable (even with headphones) when he says the actual words. I did enjoy the emitting corpse, though.

Oh. Now I get it. Damn those pesky misplaced commas.

now, what i wana know is, how the fuck does he know the "sounds" will reveal who the killer is?

now, if this film were about a guy whose farts reveal the identities of most-wanted killers, i'd watch it.

If he was so afraid of hearing noise and always wore headphones it would mean that he was in love with someone that he had never actually spoken with. I guess actions speak louder than words.

"cremates the body without his earphones"

Well, I hope he wouldn't waste a perfectly good set of headphones by cremating them WITH the body.

I hate it when my father says violent shrill sounds.

I didn't know corpses emitted sounds. Is it kind of like the lobster when you put it in the boiling water?

His dad cremated bodies with fire,
"They make sounds, son" said the sire,
The son takes a chance
And flames a romance,
And finds out that dad was a liar.

If this guy is so terrified of hearing noises, why doesn't he wear earplugs instead of headphones? Is his paranoia only limited to shrieking corpses and not shrieking pop musicians?

If that's the case, he should probably just forget the headphones and stay away from the crematoriums. I've been around for 25 years and have been relatively successful in the avoidance of shrieking corpses. Just a thought.

I'm with crazed_writer: Bring on the dark sexual underworld. And possibly go back in time and cremate Hitler? Unless his Dad is actually.... nah, it's just too gruesome.

This idea, well. I am not sure how somone could have an idea THIS bad.

Unless the father and son run a funeral home "Six Feet Under" style, why the hell is this guy so worried about hearing the violent screeching of corpses being cremated? Is he being followed around by a crematorium on wheels or something?

everyone's brutally murdered, these days. no one is ... gently murdered. if i get murdered i hope it's gently. a soft kiss, a blow job, then the murder.

So that's why that fucker that comes in to buy espresso all the time leaves on his damn earphones while he orders...I always wondered. Mystery solved!

Also, if anyone knows what type of earphones this guy has can you let me know? I mean, if they block out the screaches of the burning dead, they'd be perfect for me when I work out at the gym!

They can have the brother from "There's Something About Mary" play the lead.

I told you people not to toy with cremation! Some Universes never listen.

This was God

Ooh! One of the corpses could be played by Bill Pullman!

Forgot to mention the guy wore noseplugs in addition to the headphones when burning that damn Sasquatch.

He didn't wear the headphones when he burninated the son of Sasquatch.

Dark Side of the Moon also synces up perfectly with a corpse burning.
