The metal worker stood over a circular metal grinder, sharpening a 3-foot-long, silver-colored rod.
His coworkers paid him no mind.
"We had gotten off early that night," recalled laborer Henry Tabb. "I went to punch out and I heard a grinding noise. I started to go back there and saw his back turned to me. He was wearing a green hoodie. He was back there grinding something. I didn't know what it was."
The next night was Oct. 27. A lunar eclipse blotted out the moon.
The workers at the Peerless Metal Powders & Abrasives plant in southwest Detroit would soon learn exactly what their coworker James Flemons had fashioned 24 hours earlier.
It was a sword.
I like how my version of that story is pretty accurate.
