    New Boots
    By
    Jake Bible

     

    Her boots were slick with their blood.

    The intricate stitching, which once had been ivory white, was stained a deep pink. Dee stared down at the boots, new by only a couple of days, and frowned. That shit didn’t come out.

    Too late to do anything. The stitching would stay that color, maybe fade a little over time, but for the foreseeable future, she’d have pink stitching in her black boots.

    Dee holstered her pistol and lit a cigar, puffing hard to get it glowing, then tapped ash on her main target’s slack face.

    “Vaya con Dios, bitch,” she said.

    Cheers!

  • Hello!

    Another episode of Writing In Suburbia is in the can. Not the toilet can, the audio tape can. Which doesn’t really exist since this is all digital. I HAVE CONFUSED MYSELF!

    Speaking of confusion, this episode is all about how to ignore all the crazy writing advice on the internet that insists you are doing it wrong. You aren’t. Have a listen and you’ll hear my many rants and tangents on this subject.

    Hope y’all enjoy!

    Cheers!

    New Sheriff
    By
    Jake Bible

    The Legend stood in the middle of the street, pistol drawn, dust blowing everywhere.

    “This is my town, Gil,” the Legend stated. “I ain’t gonna–.”

    The gunshot rang out and the Legend fell to his knees. He stared down at the blooming red that soaked his vest just under his star.

    “You were sayin’?” Gil sighed as he holstered his pistol. “I ain’t gonna…what?”

    The Legend sputtered, coughed, fell on his face, died.

    The townsfolk gasped.

    “Guess I’m the new sheriff in town,” Gil said, grinning at the townsfolk. “Bet you sorry sacks didn’t see that comin’, did ya?”

    Don’t Interrupt
    By
    Jake Bible

     

    “Punch the fuck outta him! Punch his goddamn face in!”

    The adults’ conversation came to a halt. They turned to regard the foul-mouthed toddler that was busy staring at the fence.

    “You call that a punch? That’s a slap from a three year old boy!”

    “Missy?” the child’s mother said as she walked quickly over to her daughter. “Missy?”

    “Ghost fight, bitch. Don’t interrupt.”

    The mother’s left eye twitched. She returned to the patio.

    “Girls will be girls,” she said when the guests looked for an explanation.

    They nodded in agreement and went back to their boring adult chat.
