Sword fight to the death

No, this is not one of the stories from the fantasy books I read. This is real news. 77 year old Franziska Stegbauer was stabbed while trying to break up a sword fight between her grandson and brother- in-law. Both men were also hospitalized with stab wounds. These two must have spent way too much time at DragonCon or something. Sword fighting is so 1580's. The cool kids moved on from sword fighting years ago. Grandma Sword Fight Death

I was getting depressed 'cause of all the stress I was feeling at home
Had a poor credit score and the number would haunt me wherever I'd go
Thought I'd move to a place where my credit could stink and nobody would care
I just wish that somebody had told me that place was a Renaissance Fair!
