Uncle Eli left nothing behind except his truck. He used to talk like it was a gift from God, but he never even drove it, just let it rust in his garage.
After he died, I wanted to get rid of it, but it wouldn’t start. I checked the engine.
And froze.
A colony of pixies, fat on motor oil and wiper fluid, flicked their pixelated wings and stared anxiously up at me.
I gently lowered the hood.
It took a while, but I eventually converted the garage into a terrarium, so Uncle Eli’s little friends had room to fly.

Yes, it’s a cute drabble Beck. I slightly worry about their motor oil diet and associated obesity. Flight might be just an exhaust pipe-dream.

That is one of the loveliest drabble I have read. Thank you for the smile on my face.
