The Happy Accident

Outline: 60 word fiction
While walking towards the pedestrian crossing Clive slipped on a banana skin and sat down heavily on the pavement. At that moment a runaway steamroller powered over the crossing; then a helicopter crash landed in the middle of the road; then there was a mini earth quake which shattered the windows of the shop opposite and glass few everywhere. Phew!

Thank heavens for that banana skin. Smile This Clive fellah reminds me of Mr Bean for some reason.

You could use 'crash-landed' and 'earthquake' to save yourself two words if you wanted.

Yes, I must correct to "flew". I just wanted to write something extremely silly for this title - so if it makes you think of Mr Bean - I have succeeded!

Good old Mr. Bean, I say.

What a crazy story! Bean taking those funny pills again, Nony?

Other than the mentioned few/flew, I'm pretty sure earthquake is one word.
