Something Will Turn Up

"Something Will Turn Up" by David Mason is a science fiction story that tells of Stanley Rapp, a man whose television suddenly starts showing everything upside down. He calls in a young repairman who not only fixes TVs but also sees himself as a poet and a magician. Instead of using regular tools, the repairman tries to use magic to fix the TV. He performs a strange and funny spell. In the end, the TV works correctly again. However, the story suggests that by fixing the TV in this odd way, they might have changed something else in the world they do not what it is. The story mixes everyday life with strange, magical events, making readers laugh and think about what might be possible with technology and a little bit of magic.
