Ollie and Quentin

Quentin is talking on the phone while mowing the lawn.
"What are you doing, Ollie?" he asks. "Sunbathing? Great! I'll join you on the beach when I've finished my chores".
"Huh?" he asks. "What do you mean you're not on the beach? You said you..."
As he speaks, the lawnmower encounters some resistance and begins to make a grinding noise.
"Hang on..." says Quentin, "I'll have to get back to you..."
The lawnmower lets out one final protest as he switches it off.
"Stupid mower's jammed!" says Quentin.
It is only now that Quentin notices the white feathers floating up from the mower and hears the moaning, realising too late that he has run over his friend who was actually sunbathing on the lawn and has now been badly injured by the machine's blades.
