Each day Eugene found a little more hair in the shower drain. He’d expected it. His grandfather had been as bald as an egg. But he thought he had more time.
He did everything he could to the hair loss. He tried scientific treatments, then quack treatments, and finally expensive hairpieces that didn’t fool anyone.
When the Devil came with an offer, Eugene signed on the dotted line. He sold his soul for a thick, luxurious head of hair with no regrets.
But there were a pair of cowlicks on either side of his head that he could never tame.
