<\/p>\n
It’s Ax Throwing Day.\u00a0 \u00a0Yeah you know what that means – Sylum Snippet!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The ax sailed perfectly through the air landing in the bullseye.<\/p>\n
The kid, more like early twenties, gave a cocky smirk and took the money from his opponent.<\/p>\n
“Another round?”\u00a0 Lincoln asked stepping up to the kid.<\/p>\n
“Sure.”\u00a0 He sized up his competition and found him wanting.<\/p>\n
Lincoln wasn’t in his ‘Lincoln’ outfit.\u00a0 He was wearing jeans, and a band t-shirt that Henry had picked up a few years ago.\u00a0 They had been back living in New Orleans for a few years, getting used to being in the ‘states’ and settling into Hunting.<\/p>\n
The Ax throwing bar, which really one should never put flying sharp objects and alcohol in the same building, had popped up just about a year ago.\u00a0 He finally decided to check it out, most where small groups of friends who were having fun, not taking it seriously.\u00a0 There were a few that took it to seriously.\u00a0 \u00a0Then there was this guy, who was a natural – Lincoln would give him credit, but he was screwing people over for money.<\/p>\n
It was time to show him true Ax throwing skills.<\/p>\n
“What’s your name?”\u00a0 The kid asked.<\/p>\n
“Abe.”\u00a0 He sipped the beer, then picked up one of the throwing axes, the weight was slightly off, but heavy enough to give that nice throw the air feel.\u00a0 \u00a0Setting the drink down, he took the trained stance and tossed it, it hit on the top of the board.<\/p>\n
The kid laughed.\u00a0 “Not bad for a first timer.”<\/p>\n
Lincoln smiled, as they two started a friendly competition.\u00a0 By the 5th axe, money started to show up on the barrel.\u00a0 \u00a0This was what he was waiting for.\u00a0 The next ax hit the bullseyes easily.<\/p>\n
“Wow. Great shot.”\u00a0 The kid didn’t look worried.<\/p>\n
After the fifth axe hit the bullseyes, the last one he used one hand to throw while sipping his beer, the kid got worried as the money moved to Lincoln’s pile.<\/p>\n
“What did you say you did for a living?<\/p>\n
“I’m a lawyer, mostly research.”\u00a0 He answered with a small smile, that was slowly turning into something vicious.<\/p>\n
“Hey kid.”\u00a0 A rougher voice broke through the staring match.\u00a0 The new guy put down a twenty, and pushed the kid away from the barrel.\u00a0 “Do yourself a favor and run off and let the real players play.”<\/p>\n
Abe’s eyes narrowed.\u00a0 “Bring it on Paul.”<\/p>\n
Bunyan laughed, twirling the axe ins his hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
