missing figure

The missing figure The familiar figure I was dressing didn't sit in the chair, at the shop, I had hired ready for the funeral, when I after lunch walked to the shop to get him dressed I had bought hair in a gift shop, the type  many use and call it angel hair, white and smooth and easy to glue on  I, on my way through the small park, had noticed the man who spoke English with He had a slight Liverpool accent, although he was Portuguese, looked another way when seeing me, that is, he looked at the ducks in the park's pond. Unsure of what to do, I sat down in the chair the figure had sat on a dentist's chair  The closed shop must have belonged  to a former teeth practitioner. In the large mirror opposite the chair  I saw myself, put the angle hair on my head and saw the missing figure.
