Jerome was growing more concerned by the day; as he matured, his neck grew to be bright red.  Just last week he had been called a Communist, a Republican, and a Good Ol’ Boy, but what if his not using sunblock had let skin cancer get started?  What was the fix, remove his neck?  He guessed that option was better than nothing, but he would look kinda short and stumpy, like a lot of the rednecks he had seen on TV. . . . .  David, Sf.G.
