    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.

    Cheers!

  • Writing In Suburbia #21: Hello, 2016!

    It’s a new year! Huzzah!

    This week’s episode is the first of 2016 and I take a look back at some of the movies, TV shows, and books I watched/read in 2015. I also talk a little about the echo chamber of social media because it’s not WIS without a social media rant. Am I right? (Yes, I am.)

    Enjoy!

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Well, folks, it’s that time of year. The time where I tell you I’ll be on a bit of a hiatus until the new year comes around. I know, I know, I’m sad too.

    And, speaking of cheer, how about that Blood Cruise! The perfect holiday gift for the ones you love! Ebook or paperback, it’s sure to entertain for hours and hours and hours!

    Death And Holidays
    By
    Jake Bible

    Detective Halstead covered her nose with the crook of her left arm while she kept her service revolver pointed forward with her right. The smell was overwhelming. Death and holidays.

    “Like a rotting pine forest,” her partner, Detective Mackinaw, whispered.

    They moved from the foyer to the front room and stopped in their tracks.

    The tree. The Christmas tree. It was…eating them.

    “Dear God…” Mackinaw whimpered as they watched the Fraser fir dig into the corpses of the poor family.

    Halstead holstered her revolver, pulled out her smokes and Zippo, and gave Mackinaw a grin.

    “Let’s light it up.”

    Such a fine Friday for a Drabble Party, don’t you think?

    YES, YOU DO!

    But, before we get into the magical wonder of this week’s 100 words, how’s about I fill you in on a couple things?

    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.
