    They Fell
    By
    Jake Bible

    Kinkade swung the .45 around as Muoco and Hare stepped into the room. The two men stopped, their hands inches from their own irons. All eyes narrowed and the three stood in the nearly collapsed old church, stucco and plaster at their feet, piles of adobe bricks piled high in the dark, shadowed corners.

    “You should have kept going, boys,” Kinkade said.

    “No choice, gringo,” Muoco growled. “Took the job. Have to finish the job.”

    Hare nodded in agreement, silent as always.

    “Sorry to hear that,” Kinkade said. “I have a job to finish as well.”

    He fired. They fell.

    Nothing says Happy Holidays like a bloodsucking tentacled monster!

    The last thing I want to talk about is Writers Coffeehouse. This will be a monthly meeting of Asheville/WNC area writers hosted by myself and co-hosted by Nathan Ballingrud, Jamie Mason, and Beth Revis. The fine folks at Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe are giving us the space to meet with as many local writers as want to come. It’s a chance for writers to talk about the biz and network in a relaxed, no pressure setting. It’s all about writers helping writers. If you are interested then clickety click and check out the FB group. It’s gonna be a blast!

    Now, on to the drabble!

    Enjoy!

    Wasn’t Warm Enough
    By
    Jake Bible

    The blanket wasn’t warm enough. The blanket was too warm.

    Marigold shivered in the corner of the hut, her body burning with fever, her eyes glassy and dazed. She tried to focus on the world around her, but the best she could do was stare at the limp foot of her little sister. A limp foot that hadn’t moved in hours.

    Not true. It hadn’t moved in days. The smell had even started to penetrate her clogged and oozing sinuses.

    Marigold shivered in the corner and pulled the blanket tight around her. She was too warm. She wasn’t warm enough.

  • Writing In Suburbia #20: To Brand Or Not To Brand

    In this week’s episode I chat a bit about branding. I go into the whys and whynots. I talk about the BS that is spewed, and it being me, I spew some of my own BS. It’s more informative than it sounds. Trust me.

    Also, Christmas music!

    Enjoy!

    Metal_and_Ash_Audiobook

    What began in the wasteland of Dead Mech, and continued alongside Europe and Asia in The Americans, now has its epic conclusion in Metal and Ash.

    Commander James Capreze and his team of mech pilots must no longer battle just zombies, cannibals, religious cults, and the ever-dreaded dead mechs. Now, they will be put to the test by the forces of the Three, as the evil alliance bent on dominating every inch of the world attacks from two fronts, forcing Capreze to split his forces and make alliances with those he had been sworn to defeat. The wasteland becomes the setting for an epic fight for basic human survival like it hasn’t seen in hundreds of years.

    Will 50-foot battle mechs be enough against hundreds of thousands of techno-zombies ready to wipe everything living off the scorched map that is the wasteland? Join Capreze, his mech pilots, the refugee Americans, end every denizen of the wasteland as they make one final stand to keep the Three from bringing humanity’s downfall. Alliances are formed and broken, mech pilots are made and murdered, secrets are revealed and agendas destroyed, and thousands of bodies fall and rise again in the Apex trilogy finale: Metal and Ash.
