After a frontier battle, a young courier slips into his commander's tent and finds the impossible: the headless general seated at his desk, calmly brushing dispatches, his severed head resting beside him. The officer explains he is simply not finished, and the tale becomes a wry meditation on a duty that refuses to die with the body.
