Hermph. Me and my Freudian slips, writing one thing while thinking about amother...
2,600-word story about a dude with a talking sword, of course. Which I wrote at least partially on a semi-dare from a writing friend who, upon hearing of my vague idea for what she referred to as "another talking sword story", expressed skepticism that the fantasy genre was desperately in need of an addition to the field of self-vocalizing cutlery.

As per our bet, she'll be listed in the dedications section, if I get one, as the person who convinced me that the field needed another talking sword story.
