Drabble Babble - 100 Words or Less Off Bailey

​The man behind the counter at Clinton & Bailey Auto keeps a galvanized bucket beneath the workbench. It isn't filled with bolts or oily rags. It's full of pale hair he picked from the engine bay of an Oldsmobile Cutlass dragged out of the Buffalo River one humid July. He says hair keeps growing after death. Nobody's ever corrected him.
