The Man in the Bell av William Edmondstoune Aytoun

(1821).

This story is actually not by W.E. Aytoun, but by William Maginn. It appears that it was actually published crediting the wrong author. (ref.: The Supernatural Index: A Listing of Fantasy, Supernatural, Occult, Weird, and Horror Anthologies. Michael Ashley, William Contento. Greenwood Publishing Group, Jan 1, 1995, p. 94.)

A bell-ringer is accidentally trapped in a belfry while his colleagues are ringing the bell: an overwhelming experience. That's it. I guess that the brief piece is supposed to function as a metaphor for psychological breakdowns and the difficulty of dealing with life in general... but still. The overwrought language left me saying, "Dude! OK, that all sounded a bit dangerous and unpleasant and all, but pull yourself together already!"… (mer)
