Headless
Mr. Morgan was incapable of making wise decisions.
He constantly confused compost and garbage pickup weeks. Waste-collection trucks drove past his house without stopping.
Mr. Gerald down the street didn’t receive his disability payments. A mail-delivery person was reprimanded for not noticing one differing number between the addresses of Mr. Gerald and Mr. Morgan.
The latter meant to take them over to his neighbor but didn’t after a rumour circulated: he was seen stumbling outdoors in the dark appearing to have no head.
Truth be, he wore a coat over his head for warmth because he often forgot his hat.
