The Eternally Memorable Man

Description

Man Among Men

I had tons of work to do, my wife's was incessantly nagging, and it was raining to top it all off. I was definitely not in a good mood. Desperately in need of fresh air, I stood to go open the door when I saw a tall man standing outside, drenched from the rain. Surprised, I almost fell backward. I asked him why he was standing in front my shop. Carefully, he handed over the belt from within his bag.

He spoke with a voice that felt like it could shake the entire world. He had come all the way from Mediah to fix this one belt. It wasn't just any belt, but one that had apparently saved his life. When he said this, I studied the belt carefully and saw a stab mark on the stone set in the belt. I asked him if he was scared to know that if he hadn't worn that belt, he'd be dead, to which he smiled and answered, "We will all die someday, so why should we fear death?"
