    Never Admit To A Job
    By
    Jake Bible

    The cigarette burned until it was nothing but ash. Carlotta didn’t care, she just lit another and placed it between Dirk’s lifeless fingers.

    “So, like I was saying,” Carlotta continued, far from finished with her post-assassination narrative. “It wasn’t anything personal. Just business.” The door opened and Carlotta turned to face her boss and his assistant. “He’s all yours. Don’t kill him until I’m gone.”

    And she left, leaving the assistant puzzled. “Don’t kill him? The guy’s missing half his face.”

    “She never admits to a job,” the boss replied. “Ever.”

    The assistant shrugged and started to pour the gasoline.

  • Two New eBooks!

    Well, hello there!

    So, looks like I have been busy with things other than Natural Born Cyborgs.

    I have published two new eBooks! The first one, One Foggy Night: A DEAD MECH Prequel Short, is just that, a prequel short story set in the world of DEAD MECH. I have plans for this guy. It is currently free on Smashwords and Kobo, but $.99 on Amazon and B&N. I’d love for it to be free on every retailer site. Sooooo, if someone were to let Amazon and B&N know that it is free elsewhere they would be forced to cut that $.99 price down to zero. Just saying.

    One Foggy Night: A DEAD MECH Prequel Short-

    Years before the events in DEAD MECH, many of the characters find themselves in one city/state at the same time. Foreshadowing events to come, One Foggy Night is a prequel short to DEAD MECH. Get a peak at Masters, Harlow, Jay Rind, Bisby, Stanislaw, and the Rookie years before their fates are sealed. Blood, sex, action, murder, and moonshine- in the Wasteland anything is possible!

    The other new eBook is C-Notes: A Collection of 100 Drabbles. This guy is a compilation of drabbles from Friday Night Drabble Party and also others that I have written over the years. You like 100 word stories? You like a collection with 100 stories in it? Then you’ll love this!

Drabbles are stories exactly 100 words long and C-Notes is chock-a-block full of these crazy stories ranging from bloodthirsty maniacs to militarized turkeys fighting for their very existence! What? It can happen! Kick back, grab a beverage, and enjoy the insanity of 100 stories all in one collection!

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Oh, hello there, Friday! Glad to see ya!

    And I’m glad to see all of you here for another Drabble Party! Welcome, welcome. Leave your coats by the door and grab a beverage. There’re snacks in the kitchen.

    All settled? Excellent.

    So we have had another Party goer join the fun. Welcome to Frailey! I dig the additions to the drabbles.

    I know I had said way back that I’d comment on drabbles that were added to the Party. I have decided not to. I quickly realized I’m not a critic. To each their own is how I see it. I think just having the guts to put your 100 words on the website is good enough. No need to get all subjective on the drabble itself.

    So come one, come all! Time to get your Party on!

    Enjoy!

    Back With A Vengeance

    By

    Jake Bible

    “NOOOOOO!!!” Manny shouted as the first bullet tore Terrance’s forehead apart. Chunks of skull and thin strips of skin exploded into the misty morning air. A fine spray of blood floated on the slight breeze.

    Manny dove under the Valiant he and his brother had been struggling to restore. More bullets flew through the air and followed Manny, ripping wide holes in the Valiant’s blood stained primer gray.

    “Who are you?” Manny screamed.

    “A shadow from your past,” a woman’s voice replied. “You remember that night, right? Should have killed me.”

    “Dear God…,” Manny whispered, knowing he was already dead.

    Oh, and if you haven’t heard, I have decided to walk away from podcasting. Check out the post I dropped yesterday for more info.

    Disclaimer: I do not, nor ever have, condoned the destruction of classic automobiles. No actual Valiants were harmed in the writing of this drabble.

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Ok, folks. It appears the Party consists of myself and Heyes. Not that that is a problem. The guy can write!

    So, if you think you can write (I call dibs on that as the next breakout reality show!) then get your wordy words down in the comments section tonight! DO IT!

    Enjoy!

    Serial Rookie

    “When it makes a promise it must keep the promise,” the man outside the cage insisted. “Or if it does not keep the promise then the promise it has been told will happen.”
    Carl just stood there, his hands on the iron bars, his eyebrows raised. “I have no idea what you are saying.”
    The man outside the cage sighed and then started again, but Carl quickly interrupted him. “No, I heard you. I just have no idea why you are saying that.”
    The man outside the cage looked at his notes. “OK, let’s try this. It puts the lotion…”

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Another Friday be here, yes. Another party be in full swing, I say!

    This week I will do something different. It has been suggested that I post the Drabble in the body of the post instead of as a separate PDF. So I am going to give that a whirl tonight!

    Please let me know if this works better for y’all. I aim to please, ya know.

    This does mean that the comments section tonight is for comment on the new format AND so you can add your 100 words worth. You know how I like it when y’all play along. So far there’ve only been a couple of players with the Drabbles, but a small party is still a Party!

    Have a read below and if you are inspired to add to the story, take a related tangent, create something new that follows the spirit, what have you, then please do! It is a Party after all.

    Enjoy!

    We Always Do

    By

    Jake Bible

    Of the Weeping Time we know. Of the Horror of Banford we know. Of the Call to All That Came Before we know.

    So I sit upon my chair –the hardbacked one with the spent spring in the seat- and stare at the Fog as it crawls from the harbor, up the street, through the alley, and to my window.

    Of the Fog we do not know. But we will learn.

    We always do.

    And those that remember, those that are left?

    We shall write about it; tell tales by firelight; sing sad ballads in the pub.

    We always do.

    So what did you think of having those words right there in your face? I kinda like it. Let me know.

    Cheers!

    Disclaimer: Shhhhhh. The Fog can hear you…
