WORD OF THE DAY
Craven • \KRAY-vun\ • adjective – Lacking the least bit of
courage: contemptibly fainthearted
Flavius stood undefeated in the arena; his blood-stained
sword glinting in the sharp, angled glow of the setting, golden sun. No craven
bone in his body had he…except for his uncharacteristic fear of chickens.
Whether by suspicion, or a childhood incident involving the family rooster, he
would quake in fear at the mere mention of any poultry dish. Or the appearance
of a feathered opponent.
