Benedict after swilling down on couple of shots of free whiskey that his audiences bought for him had a habit of boasting about his past. "It was a glorious day the day I lost my arm" he used to say snickering and involuntarily scratching the air with what was left of his left arm. Which wasn't much. Just ¼ of what it once used to be.
"I was at kargil. I single handedly defeated the Pakistani platoon." He said and he was rewarded with drunk applause and drunk salutes.
Before that he had defeated the Chinese army. Prior to that he had fought against the British forces, Hitler's Wehrmacht, the Mughals, along side Genghis Khan. He had even helped Michael defeat Lucifer. Of course none of it was true but regardless of that he was a great storyteller. He says the day he lost his arm Gabriel had appeared tearing the fabric of space. Drenched in brilliant white light and had promised to compensate for his loss.
People accused him of hiding bamboo inside his trouser but that wasn't true Gabriel had kept his promise.
Even though he had his right arm was intact the whole of it, people still wondered how he managed to wiped his ass. Some said that he dragged his ass on the ground like worm infected dog and others said his wife had a tongue of a tigress and she helped him clean his ass. What I wondered was what he looked like while fucking his wife. I could imagine his stump involuntarily scratching the air. Trying to grab a fist full of his wife's hair while he gave it to her from behind.
Bernard his youngest son had filmed his father fucking his mother and broadcasted it to people for 500 rs.
One day Benedict died and left us all wondered who was going to fight the next great battle?
