    Too Nice A Night
    By
    Jake Bible

    The sound of Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline drifts on the summer breeze as Carol ready’s the baseball bat. She hums along, her lips mouthing the “bom bom bom” part when it comes up.

    “Nice night,” she says, twisting her hands, feeling the slight perspiration. “Too nice a night for this unfortunate business.”

    A muffled cry and Carol narrows her eyes. Linda, gagged, wrists and ankles behind her, hanging from the bar across the swing set, stares in pure terror.

    “It was simple,” Carol says as she brings the bat back. “Approve the new landscaping.”

    The bat swings fast and hard.

    Alexis the Second was not his father’s son.

    Instead of being a man of military might, he was a man from the wild lands of the Prime. Instead of being an accomplished warrior, he was an unapologetic hedonist, reveling in the finer tastes and pleasures of life. For many of the nobility, such a life would have been ideal, but for a Master of Station it was near suicide.

    Lightest of Touches

    A small flutter, barely perceptible. People walk past, unawares.

    The lightest of touches, the sensation of breath on skin. Dry, warm, soft. A hand brushes thoughtlessly at a neck.

    The eyes watch, careful not to be noticed, careful not to be seen. Careful. The eyes wait.

    The man, strong, virile, a perfect specimen, strolls by, his phone in hand, hand to ear, his mouth moving continuously, loud, wanting to be noticed, wanting to be important, playing the roll, pretending.

    The eyes, the flutter, the lightest of touches notices him. He will be important.

    A busy corner, a gentle shove. Screams.

    Zburbia-6-ebook-coverFrom Asheville to Knoxville, Cannibal Road to the Tomb, Jace Stanford and the Whispering Pines survivors have been on the run and fighting for their lives non-stop.
    Now, with the plains to their backs, the crew are just steps from their destination: The Stronghold of Boulder, CO. All they have to do is make it through the nightmare that is Denver, CO. While running from the mega-powerful, corporate/political/military entity that is the Consortium. And dealing with the brainwashed killing machines that call themselves the Sisters. Not to mention a crazy mad scientist hell bent on making life really, really hard for everyone.
    Oh, and there’s the issue of the horde of zombies that’s close to half a million strong. Yeah, that’s kind of a bummer.
    But, hey, if anyone can get his friends and family through a nightmare like this, it’s Jace Stanford, right? Right?
    Okay, they’re probably screwed.

    Oh, and for those worried the Z-Burbia story is over, it’s not! The Stanfords may be done, but there’s still a certain person named Elsbeth that has so much more to do! Be prepared for Sisters of the Apocalypse some time in 2016!

  • Writing In Suburbia #7: Taxes Are Death!

    I also talk about laundering. Actual laundry, not money. I let my accountant do all my money laundering. Wait…is this thing on?

    Oh, and hey, buy some shit:
