One Arm

Reggie hardly missed his missing arm. People assumed a shark had bitten it off, but, actually he fell asleep on it, cutting off all circulation. So it had to come off.
He gravitated toward shark training because he admired them. Eat, swim and defecate is all they did. But after ten years of this, stricter guidelines pushed by animal rights activists drove him out of the business.
For months he floated around lacking purpose. He needed a challenge.
One day while walking past a music store he saw something in the window that lit his imagination. He knew immediately where his future lay.
Reggie became the world's most proficient one armed xylophone player.
