By sunset, a flatbed from a local salvage yard pulled up. The driver checked Elias's driver's license, verified the VIN against the old registration tucked in the glovebox, and had him sign a bill of sale. Elias watched as the winch pulled the heavy metal beast onto the bed.
The dusty lot at the edge of Central Avenue didn’t look like much, but to Elias, it was a graveyard of potential.
