I stumbled across this quickie writing challenge on Mr. Hotspur’s Wondrous World of Imagination and figured I’d give it a try. The challenge originated on trifecta’s blog which, apparently, is chock full of these things. Here’s the assignment.
For this weekend’s Trifextra Challenge, we are asking for a 33-word response to the picture below. Make what you will of it; there are no rules. Poetry, prose, comedy, drama–just give us 33 words, on the button. Have fun with it.

I think I know who the someone banging on the door is. My guess is the police, but not the musical group known for its synchronicity.
