- A dead man comes back to life.
- What?
- Yes. A dead man’s heart begins beating again and he comes back to life. The catch: he immediately starts dancing when he returns from the dead.
- Small price, some would say, but we never actually learn how he feels about dancing in a place as seemingly inappropriate as an OR. It’s possible the experience was even more uncomfortable than cardiac arrest.
- And for that matter, if the guy was going under the knife in the first place, he probably had a weak heart to begin with, so wouldn’t dancing endanger his fragile, ill-gotten life even further? Wouldn’t his relieved family and friends resent this behavior? Couldn’t it be viewed as reckless and selfish after getting a second chance on the mortal coil? It’s like choking nearly to death, having someone open your windpipe again through the Heimlich maneuver, and then immediately fitting as much peanut butter into your mouth as physically possible before you can even say “Thank you.”
- Or what if the return from the brink of oblivion was a Faustian example of immortality at a price and this man now has no choice but to Electric Boogaloo for all eternity? Would it really be worth it? Only if you consider that the man will be ahead of the curve when breakdancing comes back in style in the 2030s, right alongside the epic relaunch of the Teddy Ruxpin empire.
