    To Be A Drone
    By
    Jake Bible

    The creature gnawed through the flesh, crunching on muscle and fat as it forced its way out of its host. The feeling was exhilarating; a violent birth that would lead to an even more violent life. The chance to be a drone and serve the queen.

    The bone came up fast and the creature smacked its round head against several vertebrae, bringing its progress to a full stop.

    “Guys? A little help?” the creature hissed.

    The creature could hear laughter.

    “Larry went backwards and hit the spine,” one of its already free brethren said. “What a lousy chest-burster. Ha!”

  • Writing In Suburbia #30: Writers Just Want To Have Fun

    Welcome to another episode of Writing In Suburbia!

    This week I don’t rant (much) or bitch (much), but instead, I chat about the fun there is in being a pro writer. At least, what I consider fun. I’m sure you’ll dig my BS.

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Well, folks, Spring has sprung in my neck of the woods. What does that even mean? How do woods have necks? English is bizarre. Anyhoo, Spring is here and with it comes a brand new world, all fresh and green and filled with pollen and spores and things that will get inside your mucous membranes and just burrow in, dig themselves right through that tender flesh and…

    What?

    Hey! Guess what? Books! BOOKS!

    Fighting Iron!

    It has thirteen reviews so far. Just thirteen. But what is interesting is how all of them are 5-star. Never had that happen before with a new book launch. The other funny thing is how many people say they didn’t expect to like the book then ended up loving it. That’s probably the best compliment I could get as a writer. Surprising even my fans is pretty sweet. So, if y’all are in the mood, have a click and check out this far-future mech western. It’s pretty kick-ass.

    Sisters!

    KERPOW!

    Now, how about we get some drabble action goin’ on, yo? WORD!

    Enjoy!

    Natural Wonders
    By
    Jake Bible

    The rabbit raced for the hole. It was close, only a few yards away, the opening within sight. But the creature that chased the hare was closer, only a couple feet behind, bone-white hands reaching, ready to snatch it up.

    The rabbit dodged to the left then to the right, its agility one of the many natural wonders of the world. But the pursuing creature would not be dissuaded, it chased the rabbit right up to the hole then stopped, hands on hips, mouth pursed in annoyance.

    “I wonder…” Alice said as she peered inside the rabbit hole entrance.
