    Well, it’s been a week, that’s for sure.

    Hey, there has been some tragedy in our lives here in Asheville. One of my wife’s co-workers lost two of her sons in a car accident this week. There are medical costs, funeral costs, and vehicle costs she’s going to need help with. If you have a spare dollar, please help. CLICK HERE TO HELP.

    On with the Drabble.

    Enjoy.

    Kept Driving
    By

    The yellow line was so faded from time and the elements that Chessie could barely make it out in the pitch black of night. A little bit of reflection here, a hint of color there, that was all she could see.

    The night wore on and on. Chessie kept driving.

    Hours upon hours passed and daylight never returned. The clock on her dashboard never changed. The yellow line never got easier to see. Chessie kept driving.

    There was a song on the radio, but she hadn’t turned on the radio.

    Chessie sang along, somehow knowing the words.

    Chessie kept driving.

    Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Just stating the obvious.

    Hey, you know what else is obvious? That you want the latest Roak book! Razer Edge is available NOW!

    Razer Station is one of the most notorious stations in the galaxy. Criminals, con artists, freaks, rebels, junkies, and smugglers inhabit the space station that floats at the outer edge of civilization.
    It’s Roak’s kind of place.
    But, Roak isn’t on Razer for a little R&R; he’s there on a job.
    For Roak, it should be an easy job- track down an old tech that has been targeted by several corporations and deliver the tech to the corporations.
    Except Razer Station is never that accommodating and Roak’s easy job quickly turns into a nightmare battle for survival and a race across the station before it all goes up in flames.
    The third chapter in the Roak saga continues with more grit, more grime, and more bodies than ever. Roak is pissed and gunning for anyone and everyone that dares get in his way!

    Click that pic there and go get you some Roak!

     

     

    Now, on with the Drabble!

    Enjoy!

    Immortality Sucked
    By
    Jake Bible

    He sat at the piano, a ghost of what he once was. His fingers played across the ebony and the ivory, although neither of those substances had existed in centuries. Eyes were on him, watching, waiting, expecting.

    “I would like to play for you something that has been in my mind for a very long time,” he said without looking towards the private audience or his host.

    “Play the hits,” the host said firmly. “That’s why you are here.”

    He began to argue, but stopped himself. The host was right. He was there to play his hits.

    Immortality sucked sometimes.

    Ages

    The body was just too darn big to fit inside the box.

    Jasper went to find the old axe he’d been meaning to sharpen for ages. Ages. He stared at the dull and rusted blade, sighed, then got to work.

    Two hours. It took two hours for Jasper to get the body down to a manageable size so he could shut the box’s lid. He made sure the latch closed properly and affixed a nice, solid padlock.

    Jasper was about to return the axe when the knocking from inside the box began.

    It was going to be a long night.

    Another Day
    By
    Jake Bible

     

    They leapt into the air, kicking their back legs out as they curled their fore legs in, their hairy chins pointed down then up, down then up.

    The creatures hopped from rock to rock, never slowing, never looking like they even knew what hesitation was. Their exuberance for life was evident by their loud bleats and constant movement.

    The day wore on and their energy finally began to flag. They nodded to each other and headed for home, ready for a hearty dinner and nighttime nuzzles. It had been a glorious time.

    Jut another day in the lives of weregoats.
