    Half An Inch
    By
    Jake Bible

    The doorknob was half an inch from Louise’s fingertips. Only half an inch. All she had to do was grab it, turn it, and she’d be free.

    Terry screamed again. From far off, back inside the house Louise had fought so hard to get free from. And she was so close. Half an inch so close.

    “Turn the knob. Run,” Louise told herself. Terry screamed again. Louise cringed. “Turn the knob. Run.”

    “Yes. Turn the knob. Run,” It said.

    Louise screamed and grabbed for that last half an inch. She never made it.

    She had been so close.

    So close.

    Not A Thing
    By
    Jake Bible

    “I changed my mind. I don’t want to do this.”

    “What? Dude! You can’t change your mind now! It’s too late!”

    “It’s never too late.”

    “Um, yeah, it is. You chopped his head off!”

    “Then I call do-over.”

    “You what?”

    “I call do-over. We’ll just turn back time and I’ll not chop off his head.”

    “That’s not a thing.”

    “Sure it is. We use a watch or hourglass or wibbly-wobbly phone booth.”

    “Those don’t exist!”

    “What?”

    “Those don’t exist. Time travel isn’t real.”

    “Huh… You sure?”

    “DUDE!”

    “Shit. Okay. Well, guess we better bury the body then.”

  • Writing In Suburbia #43: Buyer’s Remorse or How I Changed My Mind In Less Than 24hrs

    Another episode of Writing In Suburbia is here!

    And, well, it basically dovetails directly off the subject of the last episode. I don’t think what I’ll be talking about is going to go in the direction you think. Seriously. I wouldn’t have thought I’d be talking about this when I recorded last week’s episode. Obviously.

    Well, you’ll see.

    Oh, hey, and sign up on my mailing list so you can get exclusive access to audio and video readings of Friday Night Drabble Party, as well as excerpts from my current works in progress!

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Oh, that is right, my friends! The Party is back!

    Before we jump into the mighty, mighty micro-fiction, hows about I announce a new audiobook? Yeah? Yeah!

    In Perpetuity is now available in earhole format! Word of warning, though. There are lots and lots of naughty words in this audiobook. If you have tender ears, then it may not be the audiobook for you. But, if you dig space marines, intrigue, brutal violence, AND lots and lots of naughty words then this is ALL FOR YOU!

    In-Perpetuity-ebook-coverIN PERPETUITY WE LIVE!
    IN PERPETUITY WE FIGHT!
    IN PERPETUITY WE DIE!!
    For two thousand years, Earth and her many colonies across the galaxy have fought against the Estelian menace. Having faced overwhelming losses, the CSC has instituted the largest military draft ever, conscripting millions into the battle against the aliens. Major Bartram North, Chief Training Officer on the CSC Training Station Perpetuity, has been tasked with the unenviable task of coordinating the military education of hundreds of thousands of recruits and turning them into troops ready to fight and die for the cause.
    As Major North struggles to maintain a training pace that the CSC insists upon, he realizes something isn’t right on the Perpetuity. But before he can investigate, the station dissolves into madness brought on by the physical booster known as pharma. Unfortunately for Major North, that is not the only nightmare he faces- an armada of Estelian warships is on the edge of the solar system and headed right for Earth!
    Major North has one chance to find out the truth, rescue the Perpetuity from its madness, and defend the Earth from attack, or all of humanity could be lost forever!

     

    Now, on with the drabble!

    Enjoy!

    Deadlines
    By
    Jake Bible

    The thing about deadlines is they are technically a line in the sand of work. You can put your toe right on that line, but once you go over you’re screwed. That can probably be said about any job in any profession in any business across the country. Hell, across the globe.

    Except, in my job, there is an emphasis on the first part of the word. The “dead” part of deadline.

    Which is why I’m where I am. Neck deep in cement while my bosses discuss my fate.

    I think my performance review is about to include baseball bats.
