   THE HEADLESS MAN-by Jerry Clowel
Now, imbetween the church, the schoolhouse, and the town, is a creek. And it is said that the headless man lives there.
And one night, my brother Sonny and I were at the school playing some ball.We had the horse with us, and darkness just crept up on us.
So we got on the horse, with Sonny in the front, and me in the back. And he said,"Now Jerry, when we get to the bridge over the creek, I'm going to lay this wipon this horse, so you had better hold on tight."
I told him I would, and I turned my baseball cap so that the bill was behind me, and we started ridding.
And Sonny did exactly what he said he was going to do, and when he laid that whip to that horse, it took off so fast that my head snapped back and the bill of my hat caught my shirt. But I thought it was the headless man had gotten me.
AH, HE'S GOT ME! HE'S GOT ME! THE HEADLESS MANS GOT ME! I yelled. And we ran that horse all the way home with me yellin thinkin the headless man had me.
And when we finally got home, Mama come out and said "What in th world has happened to you two?
"The headless man has got Mama," I said. "Now what are you talking about?" she asked me.
I reached around to my neck."The headless man, I mean my base ball cap has got a hold of me"
