    Not Jelly
    By
    Jake Bible

    The cup of coffee had long since gone cold by the time Malcolm was able to tear his eyes away from it and look at the gun that lay upon the kitchen table.

    He studied the curves, the blued steel, the way the thing looked heavy even though it was only his .22 target pistol.

    His eyes went from the gun to the strawberry jelly that covered the table around it. The dark red and hunks of fruit.

    “Not jelly,” he whispered to himself.

    He picked up his phone and dialed 911, ready to report what his wife had done.

  • Writing In Suburbia #14: Wake Up Call

    Welcome to another episode of Writing In Suburbia!

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Folks, it is that time of the week again! RITUAL HUMAN SACRIFICE TIME!

    What? That’s Wednesdays? And we aren’t supposed to talk about it? Not to anyone? Ever?

    Well, that’s a bummer. What’s the point of sacrificing one’s enemies if you can’t brag about it on one’s blog and/or social media? Sometimes I question the morals of this country.

    Hey! Speaking of morals! Did you know Z-Burbia is only $.99 right now? AND, if you buy it you can add on the audiobook for only $1.99 more? Hot damn!

    HOT DAMN!

    Now, on to tonight’s drabble! HUZZAH!

    Enjoy!

    The Loop Never Stops

    Trapped. The current data is processed at two gigabytes per second. The loop never stops.

    Cassie stared at the words on her screen. She glanced over her left shoulder. No one was watching her. She glanced over her right shoulder. Herb was watching, but that perv was always watching.

    Trapped. Enter protocol for return. The current data is processed at three gigabytes per second. Exponential growth. Cannot maintain position. The loop never stops.

    Cassie was about to reply when Herb cried out then vanished into his monitor. Into it. Then gone.

    Cassie decided it was time to go to lunch.

    And I play some blues harp, because blues harp.

    Enjoy!

    Modern City Life
    By
    Jake Bible

    The subway rattled down the tracks while Holston stared at his hands. The other passengers had gotten off at the last few stops, leaving the car empty, a decaying mausoleum of modern city life.

    Holston coughed. He didn’t cover his mouth, just watched the droplets of spittle hit the deck of the subway car, adding to the years of grime and gunk.

    He wiped at his mouth and the back of his hand came away bloody.

    It was too late.

    Holston set his hand on his jeans and closed his eyes, ready for the end of the world to begin.
