NFFD 2021: Prompt #20

 

Legerdemain

2021 marks National Flash Fiction Day's tenth anniversary and tenth anthology, Legerdemain.  

For this prompt, write a micro incorporating one or more non-English words.  These can be words from a different language, or words that you make up -- without providing a definition in the text of the story.  See if you can make the meaning or impact of the word clear enough to a reader who isn't familiar with it, without relying on obvious definitions.
