Foe Morning
by
Ovidiu Bufnila
In the
nightfall, the armourer was visited by an old
knight who ordered him a fire weapon, in great
secret.
The armourer, who worked in full confidence, when
getting the job done, slipped in the iron of the
weapon a drop of his own blood, after a recipe from
the Far East.
A few days later, the old knight arrived wrapped in
a black mantle and he let one thousand golden coins
drop on the table, this being the armourer's reward
for his confidence.
At dawn, the old knight hidden behind a bush, shot
his wife's lover while the latter was sneaking out
of the park of the castle.
An apprentice of Leonardo da Vinci, completely
troubled of the happening, would tell him the
secret of his failure. Because, due to certain
unknown powers, the moon attraction had swerved the
bullet, thrusting it into the chest of the poor
armourer who was sleeping in his small workshop.
