Rebelliously Bored
By
Jake Bible
Sentries lined the boulevard, their chrome plating shining brightly in the afternoon sun.
Morgan frowned, rebelliously bored.
“The High Officer should have been here by now?” Morgan said.
“He’s only thirty minutes late,” Loughlin replied. “That’s early for him.”
“We’re forced to attend these processions and the guy doesn’t show?” Morgan grumbled. “I got shit to do, man.”
A few spectators shifted uncomfortably, moving away as Morgan uttered his unsanctioned, traitorous words.
“Chill,” Loughlin hissed. “You want to be repurposed into a sentry?”
Morgan stared at the line of metal guards. “At least I’d be lobotomized, instead of just bored.”

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.

Yes, another Reign Of Four novel is out in the digital wild!
Print will be coming later this Fall for the entire series, but for those of you that like to get ahead of the game, feel free to grab the ebooks of RoF I and II at your leisure.
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.
That’s right, folks! I delve into the exciting, and deadly, world of business taxes! Get thee to an accountant! Let their black magic be worked upon thee!
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:
Z-Burbia 6: Rocky Mountain Die
Cheers!
