The weapon is a short story about a young boy named Timmy who lives in a world where violence and warfare are rampant. Timmy is constantly worried about being attacked and always carries a weapon with him for protection.
One day, while out on a walk, Timmy comes across a group of children his own age who are playing a game of tag. Timmy is hesitant to join in at first because he doesn't want to leave his weapon behind, but eventually he decides to put it down and join in the fun.
As Timmy plays with the other children, he realizes that he has been so focused on being ready for violence that he has forgotten how to have fun and be a normal kid. He starts to feel guilty for letting his fear of being attacked control his life and decides to leave his weapon behind when he goes to play with the other kids in the future.
The story ends with Timmy returning home and telling his parents about his decision to leave his weapon behind when he plays with his friends. His parents are proud of him for making this choice and for learning that there are other ways to feel safe and secure beyond just carrying a weapon.
Overall, the weapon is a thought-provoking story that highlights the dangers of living in a society where violence is prevalent and the importance of finding ways to feel safe and secure that don't rely on weapons and violence. It reminds us that it is possible to find peace and joy in the world, even in the midst of difficult circumstances, and encourages us to embrace the power of love and connection over fear and division.
