  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    One more Friday means one more Drabble Party!

    I don’t mean “one more” as in the last Party. No, no, no. I’ll be writing drabbles for y’all even after I step into the grave. I’ve made a certain deal with a certain someone to make sure that happens. Wink, wink.

    Anyone else smell sulfur? No? Okey doke.

    But, let’s be serious for a minutes. Blood Cruise. A literary tale of high seas horror with international crime bosses, ex poker players, covert ops agents, a giant tentacled killing machine, and a story with soul and morals and… Okay, okay, it’s a blood drenched book about a killer octopus. Nothing literary about it.

    BUT IT IS $.99 FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS! HURRY! HURRY! HURRY!

    Now…on to the drabble.

    Enjoy!

    A Messy End
    By
    Jake Bible

    The Labor Minister fretted over the reports that sat open on his desk. He stared at the numbers, unsure of how to proceed.

    Should he tell the Prime Minister? Or just hide the reports? Call a press conference?

    No. Only one honorable solution.

    The Labor Minister stood, turned to the window, grabbed the latch, and shoved. It refused to budge.

    He was surprised maintenance actually sealed the window. It was too late for the previous six Labor Ministers, but it saved him a messy end.

    Almost.

    “Now, where is that revolver?” he wondered aloud as he searched his desk drawers.

    They Fell
    By
    Jake Bible

    Kinkade swung the .45 around as Muoco and Hare stepped into the room. The two men stopped, their hands inches from their own irons. All eyes narrowed and the three stood in the nearly collapsed old church, stucco and plaster at their feet, piles of adobe bricks piled high in the dark, shadowed corners.

    “You should have kept going, boys,” Kinkade said.

    “No choice, gringo,” Muoco growled. “Took the job. Have to finish the job.”

    Hare nodded in agreement, silent as always.

    “Sorry to hear that,” Kinkade said. “I have a job to finish as well.”

    He fired. They fell.

  • Writing In Suburbia #21: Hello, 2016!

    It’s a new year! Huzzah!

    This week’s episode is the first of 2016 and I take a look back at some of the movies, TV shows, and books I watched/read in 2015. I also talk a little about the echo chamber of social media because it’s not WIS without a social media rant. Am I right? (Yes, I am.)

    Enjoy!

    Death And Holidays
    By
    Jake Bible

    Detective Halstead covered her nose with the crook of her left arm while she kept her service revolver pointed forward with her right. The smell was overwhelming. Death and holidays.

    “Like a rotting pine forest,” her partner, Detective Mackinaw, whispered.

    They moved from the foyer to the front room and stopped in their tracks.

    The tree. The Christmas tree. It was…eating them.

    “Dear God…” Mackinaw whimpered as they watched the Fraser fir dig into the corpses of the poor family.

    Halstead holstered her revolver, pulled out her smokes and Zippo, and gave Mackinaw a grin.

    “Let’s light it up.”
