  • misfire: to fail to go off, explode or ignite
  • fire: to shoot a missile from a gun → misfire = to shoot wildly → the Black Stone as a missile misfired from Heaven and knocking Tim Finnegan off his ladder → cubehouse
  • fire: to bake a brick so as to harden it → a misfired brick crumbled causing Tim Finnegan to fall from the edifice he was building
  • Clay: a misfired brick would presumably still be clay, hence religous myths of man fassioned from clay → if only we where made of a more eternal substance
