  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    FREE DRABBLES FOR ALL!

    That’s my philosophy. I know I missed last week, but that’s because I actually went on vacation over Labor Day weekend. Crazy, right? I got to check out Georgetown, SC. Talk about a hidden bit of American history. I had no clue how prominent that place was during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

    Know what else is prominent? CANNIBALS! Okay, okay, it’s a shitty segue, but what are ya gonna do?

    Z-Burbia 4: Cannibal Road is available as an ebook (with print coming soon)! Z4 keeps the story of the Stanfords, and all of those from Whispering Pines, rolling on down the road. If you liked the last three Z-Burbia’s then you will love this one! And check out the cover! That’s a sweet cover!

    Zburbia4Alright, alright, I’ll get to the drabble! Sheesh!

    But first here’s a link to Mega 2: Baja Blood in audiobook form! ZING!

    Now, on to the drabble!

    Enjoy!

    Everything In Its Place

    There are fewer things in life more frustrating than not having the right size container when you need it. You spend a lifetime collecting jugs and boxes, trunks and barrels, jars and crates.

    Then you look and it’s not there. It should be, a coffin is hard to misplace. It’s not like it’s an old mint tin or empty vial. It’s a bloody freakin’ coffin!

    So, you dig. You know where an extra is. It may have had contents in it at one time, but surely Nature has claimed them by now. Two more shovelfuls and you’ll know for sure.

    Cheers!

    “Carabiner,” Bolton said. “Carabiner, carabiner, carabiner.”

    “What are you doing?” Mintly asked.

    “Just saying the word ‘carabiner’ over and over,” Bolton replied.

    “I can hear that. Why?”

    “Because the word is different.You know how when you say a word over and over it loses its meaning?”

    “Yeah.”

    “Carabiner doesn’t. Try it. I can say the word a hundred times and it still makes sense.”

    Mintly stared at Bolton for a while then looked down at the massive pool of sharks below their cage.

    “I can’t deal with you right now,” Mintly said. “You’re an idiot.”

    Bolton shrugged. “Carabiner, carabiner, carabiner…”

    The Party has returned!

    I’m sure everyone noticed there was no Drabble Party last week. 4th of July and all. Shit went boom. Plus there was cornhole. (Note to self: create new erotica genre that Amazon will ban called “Cornhole Boom”.)

    But the drabbletasticness of Friday Night Drabble Party is back and better than ever! EVER!

    So, sit back with your favorite summer beverage or winter beverage for you folks that live down under. Hell. I’m talking about you people that live in Hell. What? You thought I was talking about New Zealand? Y’all are drinking tea in New Zealand right now. I know that. Because stereotypes make the world go round, yo!

    And a billion hamsters at the center of the Earth. They make the world go round too. I wonder what they drink? And since they are in the center, do they have summer or winter? Maybe they live in Hell…

    AntiBio is on sale for $.99! Buy it!

    What was I talking about?

    Right. Drabble.

    Enjoy!

    Little Things
    By
    Jake Bible

    It’s the little things that make up this insane world.

    Not the big things like food, air and water. No, we shit on those. They obviously don’t matter.

    No, sir, life is made up of little things.

    A wise man once said, “Don’t sweat the little things because it’s all little things.”

    I think it was Snoopy that said that.

    So, as I stand here on this ledge, looking down at the ants below –the little things–  and I can’t but wonder how not to sweat them. Wise words are good and all, but some instructions would be nice too.

    Under The Influence

    The speedometer read “TWORK”. No worries, he’d seen TWORK before. Just a hallucination. He was sure he was going only 20 lps. Totally safe.

    “Next left,” Bisch said. “Past the third asteroid.”

    “Your left or my left?” Hollis asked. He didn’t want to ask about the asteroids; he assumed the giant floating baby heads were probably what Bisch was talking about.

    “We have the same left!” Bisch snapped.

    Hollis took the left and slammed on the brakes, sending the spacecraft into a power slide.

    “No way I’m driving through that marshmallow,” Hollis said.

    “Griff! How high are you?” Bisch yelled.

    Me And Boxes

    By

    Jake Bible

    “What’s in the box?”

    “Don’t start, Willie.”

    “Just want to know what’s in the box, Al. That’s all. Not tryin’ to take it from ya or nuthin’.”

    “I know that, Willie. But I’d rather not tell you what’s in the box. It’s none of your concern. Step away and we’ll be good.”

    “Cain’t do that, Al. You got a box and I want to know what’s in it. You know me and boxes.”

    Before Al can respond, Willie slams his fist in the man’s face and takes the box. He opens it and instantly begins to cry.

    “Warned you, Willie.”
