Comment Tester Ton Ami (Pt. 1)

He squatted in front of the mini fridge to stock portioned lobster roll and cole slaw. Or was it tuna salad? I still wondered about the newly delivered knives, which came with the warning, “careful, you know, these things are real sharp.” We had tested the big knife on various things, and nothing could slow it. I looked at the three-inch stack of square, American cheese slices. That’d take some force to cut through. So I placed it on the white, textured cutting board mounted on top of the mini fridge, and raised the knife just below shoulder height. I like to think I remembered to then say “don’t move” to him, that I’d made him aware of my plan – reckless as it was – in some way. But I’m not sure. I do know that I chopped as hard as I could, cause the block of cheese didn’t figure to split easily.
