4488. Just as Coromo decided the craft had stopped moving,
the pilot leveled the craft out, which seemed to his passenger to be the
beginning of their inevitable decent.
4489. Simultaneously, as the landscape was slowing down, and
coming to a complete halt, at least to Coromo's observant and artistic eye,
attuned as it was, as an artist, to the subtleties of perspective, pressure
began to build up in Coromo's ears.
4490. The engine, which before had seemed so terribly loud,
suddenly became quiet, and then the noise of the engine seemed to stop
altogether. The silence of the engine was fated to last for as long as it took
for Coromo to accidentally swallow.
4491. Swallowing
would adjust the pressure in his ears and bring on the sound of the engine at
its full decibel level. But alas, Coromo did not know he had to swallow in order
to hear the engine again.
