  • Writing In Suburbia #55: Attack The Con!!!

    It’s Dragon*Con time!

    In this episode I chat about getting prepared for the massive con that is Dragon*Con. 80,000+ folks will be in downtown Atlanta, so prepping is a good idea. I talk about how to survive once you are there and also to know your agenda and motivations if you are going as a professional.

    It’s gonna be a blast! Hope to see some of you at Dragon*Con!

    Enjoy!

    Control
    By

    Even at full throttle, Naomi couldn’t outrun the Civics. Those dual-engine vehics simply had too much power; more horses in one engine than Naomi could coax from her entire vehic.

    But power wasn’t everything. The problem with Civics and their vehics, was the State-paid losers never learned how to drive. Truly drive. They could push down on the diesel, sirens blaring, but that was it.

    Naomi was a mechanic. The last of a great line. She knew that control meant as much as horses.

    She aimed for the twists and turns of the hills and didn’t look back.

    Every Last One
    By
    Jake Bible

    Hill threw himself behind the wall, his left hand scrambling at his belt for an extra magazine, the slide locked back on his Beretta for the third time that night.

    Hill’s hand continued to scramble.

    “No,” he whispered as he looked down at his waist to see he’d already used every last magazine. Every last one.

    He rested the back of his head against the wall. Hill knew he couldn’t outrun the men on his tail. And a bullet in the back was no way to die.

    A shout. Hill nodded. He stepped away from the wall and said goodbye.

    The Pawn
    By
    Jake Bible

     

    The pawn was slid across the picnic table. Black stone of some sort.

    Cort didn’t care what the chess piece was made of. He only cared what name was etched into the bottom. He checked and frowned.

    “You sure?” Cort asked the round-faced man that stared at him from across the table. “Can’t go back from this.”

    The round-faced man nodded.

    “Your funeral,” Cort said and smiled. The smile was not returned. Cort shrugged. “It’ll be done tomorrow tonight.”

    The round-faced man left. Cort watched him go and tucked the pawn away.

    Time to get to work.
