    The cocktails were served, the conversation was lively, the atmosphere of the evening was friendly.

    Except for the matter of the corpse in the corner.

    Folks tried to ignore it, to turn their heads and pretend that they had more relevant things to discuss. But, there it sat, refusing to leave.

    “Didn’t even wear cocktail attire,” one woman scoffed, rolling her eyes.

    “I know,” another replied, disgusted. “The nerve.”

    There was a sigh of relief when a server finally hefted it over his shoulder and took it from the room.

    More cocktails were served. It turned into a lovely evening.

    Cheers!

    Disclaimer: It’s okay to get hot and bothered by 100 words. It’s a perfectly normal part of life.

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Howdy!

    It’s time for another Party! Time for more 100 word goodness! It’s Friday!

    And, while I have you hear, how’s about we chat a little about In Perpetuity? I know ya want to.

    In Perpetuity is my latest novel, a military space opera romp set on a training station that orbits Earth. There’s plenty of action, blood, guns, spacefighters, sex, foul language, aliens, intrigue, sabotage, and plasma rifles. PLASMA RIFLES!

    If you have a spare moment, and you’ve read In Perpetuity, then hop on over to Amazon and give that puppy a review. I hate to ask, but the unfortunate reality is that reviews help with rankings and rankings help with visibility and visibility helps with sales. It’s a shitty chain reaction that makes me feel dirty just writing about, but dems da breaks, right? Right.

    Okay, enough shilling. How’s about a drabble?

    Enjoy!

    Really Small
    By
    Jake Bible

    Small people. Really, really, small people.

    “Uh, hello?” you call out. “Are you real?”

    They answer you, their itty bitty mouths moving, but their voices are so small, so tiny, that you can’t hear them. It’s like a far off squeak from a porch swing a few blocks over.

    “Can you speak up?” you ask. “I’m having a hard time- Ow! Hey!”

    They speak up, all right. They speak up with tiny pistols and tiny rifles, sending microscopic bullets at your face.

    “Stop that!” you yell. “Stop!”

    They do not.

    Your boot ends it all in a sad, anticlimactic way.

    The Party is back and it is better than ever!

    Okay, it’s probably not better than ever because how can you improve on perfection?

    I kid! I joke! I cry? I don’t know. It’s one of those Fridays. My head is swirling with graphic novel pitches, new novel plots, nonprofit organization structures (high school drama booster club), the fact I’ll be seeing Loretta Lynn at a casino this weekend, and Daredevil is on Netflix. Crazy, man, crazy.

    Know what else is crazy? Military space opera! What? Bad segue? I don’t care! Check out my latest novel below and go get you some! It’s all 100% Jake Bible with plenty of gore, blood, foul language, action, and spaceships making pew pew noises and blowing stuff up! Hell yeah!

    IN 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!

    How do you like them apples? (There are no literal apples. Stop looking for apples.)

    Now, on to the drabble!

    Enjoy!

    Nothing Left
    By
    Jake Bible

    There was nothing left.

    Collin stared at the void, his eyes desperate to see signs of life, signs of existence, signs of anything. Just…nothing.

    He turned from the void and faced the mountain, his searching eyes relieved to focus on something substantive. The snowy peaks, the dark green tree line, the almost perceptible waterfall that split its face.

    Then the shimmering began, just as it had with the rest of the world.

    “No,” Collin whispered, knowing there was no one to hear him.

    And like that the mountain was gone.

    Collin stared into the void.

    There was nothing left.

    That’s right, folks! There’s a new Jake Bible novel out!

    This time I venture into the the military space opera genre!
