thunk
when it was thrown it was small and weak. the shaft was light in colour and weight, and the blade was a single thin blade of dark metal, ideal for chopping blocks of wood. hansel and gretel style. however, by the time it's flight had finished, it was huge and heavy, with a massive double-head hewn from thick stone and sharpened up, all engraved, and the handle was thick and curved, ergonomic. a long time would have gone into making it. but it would have been very difficult to throw. impossible for anyone normal sized anyway. you'd look at that and try not to think about who owned it. landing, it wedged itself like a statement of intent into the solid panel of two big wooden doors, the doors to a hall or a walled city. thunk!
