The Butt of Death -novelette-

[Kristinn Leifsson]

Yup, what´s left of the metal still kind of springs.

It´s not funny.  It´s the most hilarious thing that´s happened to me in the 
business so far!
I will NOT tell the customer.  This is on a need-to-know basis.  She has no 
use for information of this kind.  If that´s being a con, so be it!

And zer vill not bi a next time!

Best regards,

Kristinn

P.S. If anybody has other interesting methods of handling things that 
involve nanoparticles or really dangerous chemicals, please let me know.  I 
would really like to write some more stories.   Voicing with a pneumatic 
drill, or refinishing with fluoric acid etc.
