Wow, I too am impressed at your speed! It's so in character for Boromir, even as a child, not to be able to wait for his first weapon.
"It was the first time my blood was shed for Gondor," Boromir would laugh, later; but remembering, he always felt slightly sick at the shock of that discovery, that he could be hurt, that he could bleed.
Last lines are so important in fixed-length ficlets, and you really nail this one (no pun intended). That would have been a crucial turning point for him; no wonder he'd remember.
