THE SMALL LEGEND
He picked it up.
It was heavier than expected.
Now he walks the same old path with a sword tall enough to have opinions. Some nights it rings by itself. Some mornings there are footprints beside his that are not his.
He has chosen not to investigate.

If it rings, wait.

TAKE THE ADDRESS. KEEP WALKING.
