Friday Night Drabble Party!
Friday? Check! Night? Check! Drabble? Check! Party?
Well, you tell me. Is this a party or what? (Answer: it is.)
Welcome back, y’all!
Tonight I have a great drabble for you, but I also have the pleasure of announcing: Infinite Mayhem! Check it out!
You should really click that pic and get you a copy. You know you want more Roak!
Oh, and also, another Writing In Suburbia has dropped! Huzzah!
For those of you that are all about becoming indie authors, you should really listen to this one since I have had the great fortune of speaking with Brian Rathbone! Check it out, y’all! (And sorry for low sound during intro. There was a recording glitch and I did my best to boost the volume in post, but sometimes life doesn’t cooperate.)
Now, on with the drabble!
Enjoy!

As Promised
By
Jake Bible
The safe was empty.
Norris crouched there, goggles pushed up onto his forehead, the smoke from the drill bit still in the air, and stared at the shelves that did not hold the cash as promised.
He gave the empty safe one last look then stowed his gear, threw the heavy pack onto his back, and left the office. He backtracked the way he came in, following the third floor hallway to the guest bedroom, through there and into the bathroom, stepped onto the toilet, and shoved the small window open.
The police were already waiting down below.
Norris sighed.

Cheers!

Work With That
By
Jake Bible
“Dance, little imp! DANCE!” the Man in the Hood shouted at the creature trapped within the circle of salt.
“Not an imp,” the creature muttered under its breath as it began to hop back and forth from one foot to the other. “I’m a bugbear.”
The Man in the Hood raised a silver staff above his head, but paused halfway. “Say what now?”
“What?” the creature asked.
“You’re not an imp?”
“No, I’m a bugbear. Like a hobgoblin. I eat kids.”
“I need an imp.”
“You called a bugbear.”
“Shit… Eat kids, huh?”
“Yep.”
“I can probably work with that.”

Domestic Bliss
By
Jake Bible
Enter a world where the inhabitants are completely unaware that every second of the day they are being watched! Join us now for tonight’s spectacle that is: Domestic Bliss!
“Lawrence? Have you seen the tape measure? It should be in the little tool box under the stairs,” Marge called.
Lawrence set his mug down, the coffee untouched. “It’s in there, Donna.”
“Where? It isn’t in here!”
Lawrence sighed and stood up. Once again he’d have to find the tape measure.
Thus ends tonight’s episode of: Domestic Bliss! Tune in tomorrow when we see if Donna ever finds the tape measure!

Cheers!

Friday Night Drabble Party!
And the Lord said, “Let there be an audiobook of Four Weeks To Finished!”
And there was. And it was narrated by me!
That’s right, folks, I narrated Four Weeks To Finished and now it is available for your precious earholes to consume. Y’all should get to the clicking of the pic below and bask in the writing wisdom I have bestowed upon the masses. BASK!
Now, enjoy the drabble goodness!
Huzzah!

To Your Left
By
Jake Bible
“The peg to your left. Your left. To your left, Carl. YOUR LEFT!”
“This one?”
“Is that to your left?”
“No. This is my…right?”
“Yes, Carl, that’s your right. Which would make that peg the…?”
“Yellow peg?”
“The wrong peg! It’s the wrong peg, Carl! What happens if you pull out the wrong peg?”
“The temple collapses.”
“And what happens when the temple collapses?”
“We’re crushed?”
“If we’re lucky, yes, but what really happens is the ruins fill with swamp water and we drown.”
“I’d rather be crushed.”
“Wouldn’t we all.”
“So this peg?”
“No, Carl! To your left!”

Friday Night Drabble Party!
One more week down! Getting closer to the End of Days, folks!
What? Oh, I’m kidding. How would I know when the End of Days is? I mean, it’s not like having the last name of Bible puts me in a special club or anything. I’m not building a bunker for my family in the mountains so it’s ready before January 18th, 2023. Why would I do something so very specific? Y’all are paranoid.
Hey! Who wants a drabble? You do!
Check out the drabble below and if you like what you read and want to support the author that wrote such a fine little nugget of fiction (me) then please click around the website for a bit. Also, review a book! Preferably one of mine, but you do you.
Oh, and check out my interview on the Unstructured podcast. You’ll dig it.
Enjoy!

Two Doors
By
Jake Bible
“Seven doors? There should be only two doors,” Dale stated.
“What?” the devil asked. “No, seven is our usual number.”
“Yeah, but The Lady and the Tiger,” Dale replied.
“What tiger? We don’t have tigers down here,” the devil said, annoyed.
“No, it’s a story,” Dale insisted, “with two doors.”
“Yeah, well, your story has seven doors. Pick one,” the devil snapped.
“I’m going to ignore five of the doors and just use those two,” Dale said.
“You realize it’s shit like this that got you down here in the first place, right?” the devil asked and rolled his eyes.
