The Sound of Music, Tom Cho , single work short story fantasy humour
In a story that strongly references the film The Sound of Music, the narrator is in training to be a nun, but is sent away to care for the children of a Captain von Trapp. The narrator appears to be Tom, the same narrator of the previous stories in Look Who's Morphing. Tom and Captain von Trapp are soon 'having sex and falling in love,' but as the relationship progresses, Tom finds that he is losing his identity and becoming very much like the Captain, even dressing and speaking like him. Wondering 'how do you solve a problem like co-dependency?', Tom returns to the abbey to ask the Mother Superior's advice. The Mother Superior and Tom each share fantasies about The Fonz from the television show Happy Days. Then, following the Mother Superior's advice, Tom decides to go to Switzerland to try to live like Captain von Trapp.
