A ghost tried to scare Pi with a creaky door. Pi brought Bach.
Midnight. A door creaks open down the hallway and a sheet ghost drifts in, waiting for Pi to scream. Pi plays along instead: every creak gets a note, until the longest creak becomes the bass line of a toccata. So the ghost grabs a lamp for a bigger scare, and Pi saves the biggest chord for the right moment.
Music: J. S. Bach, Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 (public domain), own arrangement.
