    Welcome to The Flipside!

    Yep, we’re getting right into it. This week is all about The Flipside. What is The Flipside? Check it out!

    The year is 2046 and dinosaurs are real.
    Time bubbles across the world, many as large as one hundred square miles, turn like clockwork, revealing prehistoric landscapes from the Cretaceous Period.
    They reveal the Flipside.
    Now, thirty years after the first Turn, the clockwork is breaking down as one of the world’s powers has decided to exploit the phenomenon for their own gain, possibly destroying everything then and now in the process.
    Former Head of Security for Topside Command Trevon Cash must navigate his way through the chaos of the broken turns and take a team Flipside to try to figure out what is happening. What Cash and the others don’t know is all that waits for them is horror and nightmares– a destroyed base, packs of ravenous carnivores, pterosaurs bent on plucking every human from the ground to be eaten far above, and so much more.
    Can Cash and his team stop what is happening?
    Or will they end up stuck Flipside forever in a perpetual, prehistoric nightmare?

    Now, on with the drabble!

    The Original Troll
    By
    Jake Bible

    Once upon a time there was a beautiful–

    Don’t you dare say “princess”.

    Who is that?

    Who am I? Who the hell are you? Some disembodied voice telling everyone what happened “once upon a time” when you’re really talking about now? That’s messed up.

    I… I’m the narrator.

    No. You’re the guy that wishes he was in the story, so you insert yourself into it. I bet you constantly say “well, actually” anytime someone else tells a story, right?

    …no…

    Right… Guess what, pal. You’re not the narrator, you’re the freakin’ troll! How’s that for a once upon a time!

    Every Page

    Jake Bible

    “Sign every page?” Jack asked, staring at the two meter high stack of paperwork in front of him.

    “Every page,” Mr. Slewfoot said.

    Jack tried to smile, but his lips wouldn’t oblige.

    “The point of making a deal with you was to avoid Hell,” Jack said with a weak laugh. “This looks a lot like Hell.”

    “Oh, it is,” Mr. Slewfoot said. “You’re in hell. Paperwork signing Hell.”

    “But–.”

    “I lied. Your soul is messed up, man. Kelly Blue Book is pitiful.” Mr. Slewfoot grinned wide. “Finish this. I’ll have the next stack brought in. Try not to cramp up.”

    Solutions
    By
    Jake Bible

    The executive board sat with their eyes cast down at the chipped and faded mahogany table.

    “People,” Deemo cooed. “I wasn’t asking for much. Just solutions. But what have you given me?”

    Deemo leaned in close, his mouth a millimeter from a pale, shivering, terrified man’s ear. The man flinched, but didn’t look up.

    “Bupkis,” Deemo said, emphasizing each consonant. “Bupkis don’t work in the apocalypse, people.”

    Shick shunck!

    The blade was through the chair, the man, and back out before anyone could even react.

    “What do I want?” Deemo asked.

    “Solutions,” the executive board replied in unison.

    “Damn right…”

    For Ages
    By
    Jake Bible

    Hand to throat, knee on chest; the man held the creature down as the thing struggled underneath.

    “You think you could kill them all and I’d never find you?” the man snarled. “Tracked you for ages.” The man squeezed harder. “Ages. Now you will pay for what–.”

    The man’s eyes went wide as the bony tip of the creature’s tail exploded from the middle of the man’s chest.

    Hand to throat relaxed, knee to chest fell away; the man collapsed onto his side, dead.

    “How’d you think I killed ’em all, bitch?” the creature spat, wiping blood from its tail.

    Beg To Differ
    By
    Jake Bible

    The single note, on the verge of changing, morphing, becoming something else, hung in the air, gripping the audience by their very souls. None could move, they were owned.

    Red eyes stared at the crowd. A black tongue licked lips. Long fingers held the note.

    Someone sneezed. The note faltered then died, the spell broken.

    All eyes fell on Todd.

    “Uh…allergies,” Todd said, extremely uncomfortable by the attention being paid to him. “Pollen, specifically.”

    “THERE IS NO POLLEN IN HELL!” the owner of the guitar roared.

    “Beg to differ,” Todd replied and sneezed. “I mean, it is Hell, right?”
