• On the latest episode of Writing In Suburbia I talk a little about why perfect continuity may not be the best thing when dealing with a long timeline. I also rage against humanity, as I am known to do.

    Bonus: cold coffee!

    A Simple Matter Of Time
    By
    Jake Bible

    No one saw them, their silent bodies drifting through the crowd, their hungry fingers touching the cheeks of the innocent, the hair of the wicked, the necks of the complacent.

    The sickness began on a weekend and ended on a Wednesday. Entire cities, towns, villages were wiped out. Bodies lay where they fell, their contents drained, only husks left.

    Those that survived the first wave, the resistors, hid. They found hovels and holes, caves and canyons. They dug bunkers and climbed mountains.

    But when Death builds an army, it is only a matter of time. A simple matter of time.A Simple Matter Of Time

    Make Excuses
    By
    Jake Bible

    My total amount of giving a shit is equal to the exact amount of I don’t give a fuck. It’s really that simple.

    “You make excuses, Blane,” I say. “You make excuses and then you hide behind them. You’re like a fucking terrorist that uses children as human shields.”

    I don’t really think Blane’s a terrorist. I also don’t blame him for making excuses. If I was getting the holy shit beat out of me, I’d make excuses too.

    I wipe the snot and blood from his face with his own sleeve.

    “Now, where is the cash, bitch?” I snarl.

    Cheers!

    Team Player
    By
    Jake Bible

    “Do you want the position or not?” Mr. Clarence asked Robert. “Because we’re only looking for team players here, Bobby.”

    “Rob,” Robert whispered as he tried to keep his hand steady. “I go by-.”

    “Don’t care,” Mr. Clarence said. “You’re now Bobby. A team player gets that. Are you a team player?”

    “Yes, sir,” Robert replied. His palm was slick with sweat and he felt like he would pass out at any second. “But why do I have to kill him?”

    “Easier for HR or something,” Mr. Clarence said. “Now pull the trigger and his job is yours, team player.”

  • This week on Writing In Suburbia I fight Mexican drug cartels while my sidekick, Johnny Guns, woos the local madame to get information on the deadly Russian plot to take over Murica!

    Or I talk about networking and the importance of friendships and professional connections in the industry. In essence: why writers drink so much.

    It all happens at the bar!

    Plus I decide it’s a good day to wash sheets.

    Enjoy!
