Pech, wenn man nach einem Unfall mit einer Kopfverletzung im Krankenhaus landet. Glück im Unglück, wenn man im Bettnachbarn einen Freund findet, mit dem man sich beim Schachspielen die Langeweile vertreiben kann. Dass aber nach der Zeit im Krankenhaus nicht der alte Trott von neuem beginnen kann, begreift der Held aus Philipp Bloms Erzählung erst nach dem Besuch eines Kinos. Es heißt Luxor und ist eigentlich geschlossen.
