Of all the things Tisarwat might have expected out of her day at the shop, a call from a zombie trying to get a price quote on a slightly-used steel drum was not one of them.

Nor had she ever expected such a transaction to be shrouded in so much secrecy and subterfuge, but it became pretty clear to her that this zombie was attempting to get rid of this steel drum without the owner's knowledge, and she suggested that if they wanted to get rid of this steel drum for good, it might be a better idea to sell it online or somewhere that it could be sent far away, rather to just the music store where the original owner could just come back and purchase it again.

Or just throw it in the junkyard, maybe, where someone might eventually convert it into a part for one of their ships or other such project.

He didn't sound convinced, so Tisarwat was pretty sure she was about to have a new, slightly-used steel drum in the inventory by the end of the day, if anyone was interested.
