This is based on my writing.com story, sequel to the Guillotine. It's called The Guillotine2: The Rapier, you can check it out here <http://www.writing.com/main/interact/item_id/1683866-The-Guillotine2-The-Rapier-points>
As the old man walked into the back of the store, Karyn spied a rather obvious space that looked like it contained a large item, but what hung above that space caught Karyn's eye. "Hey Jon, check this out." Jon couldn't help but recognize what hung as a sword, it almost looked like a fencing sword. Together they tried to get it down to see if they could find any information about it.
"Ah, that's a very special sword, it's called a Rapier" said the old man who had emerged from the back of the story while they were distracted. He then started to tell you the history about it, how it was part of a late nineteenth century set molded on a piece from the French Revolution.
Jon had no reason to be as interested in the rapier, but couldn't help but want to take it home with him. He asked the old man how much the rapier costs, and he replied,
"That Rapier is more then you can afford but I'm willing to rent it out for free, on one condition" The Old Man said.
"What?" You ask.
"Tell people where you found it" He replied.
The old man walked behind the counter and returned with a step ladder to get the sword down.
"Do we have a deal?" He asks as he gets off and turns towards you. He stuck his hand out to shake.
"Definitely" You say as you go to shake his hand. But once his hand is firmly grasping yours he raises the hand holding the sword and slices off your hand!
"Whaaaaaaa!" You screamed,
"Ohmigod, Ohmigod" Karyn screams
You're both shocked this guy would do something so insane, until you realize there's no blood and you can still feel his hand.
"I should mention this sword is special, don't go overboard" he said as he reattaches your hand by touching the ends.
"Oh and Have fun!" He says as you, still stunned by what just happened leave the store.
Together, Jon and Karyn left, stunned and eager to test their new "toy".
Until
They returned to the store five minuets later their minds having finally processed what happened.
"Forget something?" The old man asks as he pulls the Rapier from under the counter.
Driving home you about all of the possibilities for the Rapier.
