    Unmovable Prison
    By
    Jake Bible

    The needle entered the vein like a long lost lover, home for the weekend, desperate for connection. Up came the blood, mixing, mixing, mixing. Down went the plunger.

    The sigh was long and blissful; the long lost lover having satisfied.

    The room spun; the ceiling evaporated. Stars above became stars in hand; the night sky was infinite and in reach.

    Planets came and went, spinning their dizzying lives around their stars; worlds gone wild.

    Then the inevitable crash; the falling back into the body that was an unmovable prison.

    Hector blinked happily.

    “You’re welcome,” the nurse said. “Tomorrow then?”

    Blink.

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Hello, Friday, my old friend,

    I’ve come to talk to you again,

    In visions softly- Oh, wait, sorry, got caught up there for a second.

    HELLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO, FRIDAY!

    That better?

    So, as I write this, I am strangely in one of the most productive writing times of my career. Seriously. I am averaging 5,000+ words a day without breaking a sweat. And the words are coming easy. EASY!

    The difference? New genre. Actually, I’m not sure “genre” is the right word. It is interesting.

    But, anyhoo, let’s get on with the drabble!

    Enjoy!

    Frayed Laces

    Jake Bible

    The bleachers were empty; the crowd gone for hours. William sat alone, his hands folded in his lap, his breath mist upon the cold. With every exhalation he felt a little less himself; a little less there.

    “She’ll come back,” Randall said as he sat down next to William. “Won’t she?”

    William shook his head, looking at his muddy sneakers and frayed laces. He’d been meaning to get new laces every time he was at the store. He lifted his head up and looked at the October clouds float by the barely visible stars.

    “No,” William finally replied. “She won’t.”

    In A Flash

    “It steals your soul,” whispered Alyse. “That’s what my priest says.”

    “That’s crazy,” Wilma said from the corner of her mouth, trying to hold her smile. “Now shush.”

    “But what if it does?” Alyse asked.

    “Please don’t move or talk,” the man behind the large box said. “It will ruin the photograph.”

    “Hush,” Wilma warned. “Be still.”

    The flash was almost painful and Alyse shook her head while blinking her eyes repeatedly.

    “Is that all?” Wilma asked. “When can we pick it up?”

    “Give me three days,” the photographer said.

    “Do we pay now?” Wilma asked.

    The photographer just smiled.
