Beatles song characters meet up | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

       Once upon a time their was boy named Maxwell. He was a very disturbed boy. When he was young, he used to help his mom with her woodwork. His favorite thing to do was smash the nail in with a silver hammer. Some times he would smash other things with his hammer. First it was ants, then pets, and eventually he would end up smashing humans but that will be a little later.

        Maxwell was a very smart lad and flew threw school and along the way, he met his girlfriend Joan during his senor year of high school. To the outsider, they seemed like the perfect couple. They were the top students of the year and graduated with honors and their pick at any school in the world. After talking it over with each other Joan decided to go to a near by school so she could still live at home. Maxwell agreed to go to that school also even though it wasn’t the one he want which would prove disastrous for Joan.

           During their freshman year at school, Maxwell became extremely busy with his medicine major and could hardly spend any time with Joan. This was no problem for Joan who started to drift from Maxwell and started seeing other guys. When Maxwell found out that Joan was no longer his girl he started to get mad at her for leaving and being the reason he attended this school. Maxwell masked his anger by behaving like a class clown in class which resulted in his grades slipping which only made him madder.

           One sunny fall day, when Maxwell was working in his mom’s woodworking shop, he took a good look at his silver hammer. He remembered all the good times he used to smash animals with that silver hammer, then it hit him! Maxwell then started to smile, all the anger seemed to melt away. He knew what he has to do. The mere thought of his plan got all jazzed up which caused him to smash the project he was working on but he didn’t care, his mind was too far gone.

           Later that night, Maxwell dialed up Joan and asked her to the picture show. Maxwell told her to meet him at his house since it was on the way to the movies but he was far to impatient to wait for her so he ran up to her house hammer in hand. What if Joan isn’t alone in the house? a small rational part of Maxwell pointed out. Well I guess they will get the hammer also, Maxwell knocked on the door.

             When Joan opened the door, her mouth opened to ask what he was doing their but the words among other things died when Maxwell started smashing her head in with the silver hammer. Blood splattered everywhere in big splashes that coated everything in the area including his silver (now red) hammer. Maxwell felt like he was on cloud nine wow, this is much better than smashing animals ever was! After Joan was beaten to a bloody pulp, Maxwell knew that he had to dispose of the evidence or else he may not have the chance to do that again. There was no way he would dispose of the hammer so he looked in Joan’s cleaning closet and managed to find a mop with a bucket. Going back out to the front door, he moped up the remains and disposed of it in the flower bed and returned home with his blood spattered hammer.

             Back in school again, Max played the fool again, his teacher gets annoyed. Today, Max managed to find his teachers breaking point and she tells Max to stay when the class had gone away. Max would normally just leave anyway but he had his trusty hammer in his bag so he waited behind. The teacher made him write 50 times “I must not be so oooo.” Unfortunately for the teacher, she turned her back on the boy. Seizing the opportunity, he crept up from behind.

             It was different than the time with Joan for Maxwell. One thing was that he didn’t kill her with the first blow so she was able to scream out for help. Panicked, Max started hitting her at a much faster pace to kill her quickly. There was a lot of footsteps in the hallway that was getting lower. He didn’t have time to remove evidence so he hastily jumped out of the window which was on the second floor. When he landed on the ground, he fell on his ankle causing it to break thought he didn’t let that stop him from trying to get away. Soon people managed to track his location. Maxwell started to swing his red and silver hammer at people and managed to break a few bones but was overpowered and was apprehended.

            A few months later, Maxwell’s trial was in session. During the months leading up to the trial, the police connected him to both Joan and the teachers deaths. His murders also started a media frenzy, thousands of people wanted a glimpse or an interview with the killer. A few people started to idolize him and started a fan club. Two of the fan clubs leaders, Rose and Valerie, managed to get front row seats at the trial. Maxwell got up to the stand and painted testimonial pictures. Rose and Valerie were yelling that “Maxwell must go free.” The judge did not agree and he told them so. Rose and Valerie started a commotion which distracted everyone in the room except for Maxwell who took his hammer off the evidence table and snuck up behind the judge.

            Acting quickly, Max struck the Judge in a spot he knew was fatal then made a hasty retreat. Rose and Valerie called the other fan club members in effective buying Max well enough time to leave out of the back entrance of the court house. He ran until he spotted a church a few blocks away that had an open bathroom window that Max could fit in. Coming in through the bathroom window, protected by his silver hammer, he left the bathroom when he saw their was no one outside of the bathroom. Curiosity getting the better of him, Maxwell wandered around the empty church and spotted a bible. When he picked up the book, he heard police sirens in the background so he took the book and hurried to a hiding place in a cabinet. While he waited for the cops to leave, he read the bible. The more he read, the more he realized that he had to turn his act around. A few hours later when the police left, Maxwell had a new direction for his life; he was gonna become a priest.

           Days, weeks, months, years, and even decades pass and during that time Maxwell had changed almost everything about himself. Most people know him now as Father McKenzie, a quiet man who keeps to himself at the little church at the edge of town. Despite Father McKenzie’s attempt at departure from his past, he still kept that silver hammer with him. It was almost as if he was addicted to the hammer. He kept the hammer in his church.

           His church wasn’t very busy, most people attended the much bigger church in the center of town. The only regular attendant of the church was a women named Eleanor Rigby . She spent most of her time at the church, cleaning up after weddings, she always kept a happy face on even though no one was there to see it except Father McKenzie who started to have feelings for her. He hated his feelings he had for her, as a man of religion he shouldn’t have theses feelings. Over time he started to get angry at her for his feelings. His thoughts turned to his silver hammer more and more and he found less and less reasons not to slip back into his old ways.

           A time came when the call of his silver hammer out weighted his better judgment. Eleanor was in the church reading the psalm book when Father McKenzie became Maxwell again By the time he came to his senses, it was too late for Eleanor Rigby who died in the church. Father McKenzie buried her along with her name. He walked away wiping the dirt from his hands. When he came back into the church, the silver hammer still laid on the ground. Father McKenzie accepted that he could never get the silver hammer out of his life. He picked up the hammer and left the church never to be seen by people again drifting endlessly as a Nowhere Man .
