Daydreamer

Liam was a happy person. He always looked on the bright side. Control only what I can control, he told himself. Liam did have one issue--he liked to daydream. So it came to be one day he was walking along, thinking about the previous week, when, for the first time in his life, he made the 7-10 split during a bowling match.
Head in the clouds, he went right past a sign attached to a mailbox. Next thing he remembered was waking up in the hospital. The sign said, Warning! Circus performers rehearsing. Steer clear.
Doctors told him one of The Flying Walendas--Grandma Eunice--had slipped off the high wire and landed on him. He had a concussion and a neck sprain. She was unhurt.
This was almost enough to turn him into a pessimist. Do they daydream?
