One Hundred Swords by Yardier 100 Word Flash Fiction contest entry |
“AMY!” I yelled. One hundred swords? What am I going to do with one hundred swords? Out of breath, Amy asked, “What is it, Walter?” “Look, on the manifest. It is underscored: EXACTLY.” I pointed my finger. “Exactly?” she asked. “Yes.” I poked the manifest with impatient insistence. “Oh, right there.” She pointed her finger. “Exactly,” I said. “Whatever are we going to do with one hundred swords?” Amy opened the crate. I removed one and brandished the blade in front of Amy. She in turn, removed a sword and thrust it toward me and challenged, “On guard, lover.” Exactly!
