    Never Admit To A Job

    The cigarette burned until it was nothing but ash. Carlotta didn’t care, she just lit another and placed it between Dirk’s lifeless fingers.

    “So, like I was saying,” Carlotta continued, far from finished with her post-assassination narrative. “It wasn’t anything personal. Just business.” The door opened and Carlotta turned to face her boss and his assistant. “He’s all yours. Don’t kill him until I’m gone.”

    And she left, leaving the assistant puzzled. “Don’t kill him? The guy’s missing half his face.”

    “She never admits to a job,” the boss replied. “Ever.”

    The assistant shrugged and started to pour the gasoline.

    “Turn, flick fingers like such, grab crotch, and PRESTO!” Harmon shouted, the spell book open before him, his unimpressed cat looking on unimpressed.

    Nothing happened.

    “Damn!” Harmon yelled. “It should have brought forth a freakin’ djinn! I want my three wishes!”

    “300,” a voice said from behind him. “You get 300 now. Inflation.”

    “Holy crap!” Harmon squeaked as he spun about and came face to floating face with Garbnocturamis, the world’s greatest djinn.

    “World’s Greatest should be capitalized,” he suggested.

    Sorry, my bad. The World’s Greatest Djinn.

    “Better. Now, let’s move on to those 300 wishes,” Garbnocturamis said to Harmon.

    The Real World

    The bills piled up and the creditors didn’t even bat an eye at the lies he told.

    “Can’t you reason with them?” his wife asked. “They have to know we aren’t the only ones in this mess.”

    He didn’t bother to respond, his thoughts busy plotting his next move. Legal means had been exhausted; so it was on to other means. Any means, really. Any means at all.

    By the time the police caught up with him he had secured enough cash to get them out of their problems. But he’d really just traded one set of problems for another.

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Again I bring the Party to your eyeholes via bits and bytes! Viva la internet!

    So, in addition to tonight’s mighty, mighty drabble, I also have some other 100 word goodness for you!

    I just published two new ebooks! The first is One Foggy Night: A DEAD MECH Prequel Short, a short story (yes, made of drabbles!) that sheds some light on the origins of some of your favorite DEAD MECH characters. Have a read! Oh, and it has been in and out of the Amazon charts for the past couple of days. Buy that $.99 sucker and let’s see if we can keep it in the charts!

    Hmmm, that gives me an idea. I bet some of you would like to hear this story. I’ll make y’all a deal. If we can get this short story into the Top Ten of any category on Amazon then I will record it and release it for free! How does that sound?

    The other eBook is C-Notes: A Collection of 100 Drabbles. This guy compiles some of the Friday Night Drabble Party drabbles as well as others I have written over the years. You get 100 drabbles all in one collection! Have a looksee and get your bad self a copy!

    Now, how about tonight’s drabble?

    Enjoy!

    Willpower

    He tore open the box and the bag and didn’t even bother with a handful, just tipped the bag up and let the crunchy goodness fill his mouth. The cereal was beyond stale and probably moldy, but he really didn’t give a shit.

    It was the first food he’d eaten in six days.

    It took all of his willpower to set the cereal aside and not stuff himself sick. He looked longingly at the box, but knew he had to make it last. He didn’t expect to outlive the radiation sickness, but he didn’t want to starve to death either.

  • Two New eBooks!

    Well, hello there!

    So, looks like I have been busy with things other than Natural Born Cyborgs.

    I have published two new eBooks! The first one, One Foggy Night: A DEAD MECH Prequel Short, is just that, a prequel short story set in the world of DEAD MECH. I have plans for this guy. It is currently free on Smashwords and Kobo, but $.99 on Amazon and B&N. I’d love for it to be free on every retailer site. Sooooo, if someone were to let Amazon and B&N know that it is free elsewhere they would be forced to cut that $.99 price down to zero. Just saying.

    One Foggy Night: A DEAD MECH Prequel Short-

    Years before the events in DEAD MECH, many of the characters find themselves in one city/state at the same time. Foreshadowing events to come, One Foggy Night is a prequel short to DEAD MECH. Get a peak at Masters, Harlow, Jay Rind, Bisby, Stanislaw, and the Rookie years before their fates are sealed. Blood, sex, action, murder, and moonshine- in the Wasteland anything is possible!

    The other new eBook is C-Notes: A Collection of 100 Drabbles. This guy is a compilation of drabbles from Friday Night Drabble Party and also others that I have written over the years. You like 100 word stories? You like a collection with 100 stories in it? Then you’ll love this!
