  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Welcome back to the Party, y’all!

    If you have a look around you’ll see I did some rearranging of the website. Gotta get all professional looking, ya know what I mean?

    Speaking of professional, I will be at the Asheville Comic Expo tomorrow (Saturday 21st) from 11am to 7pm. I’ll be selling and signing books, handing out gruesome goodies, and just chatting it up with fans and readers and other professional artistic type peoples. You should come by. Seriously. Do it. Come by. DO IT!

    But what you’re really here for is tonight’s Drabble, right? RIGHT?

    Then let’s get to it!

    Enjoy!

    Uncooperative Passengers

    “Fifteen seconds until reentry,” Computer said. “Please prepare all passengers for landing.”

    Flames enveloped the hull as the vessel hit the upper atmosphere. Computer made all the calculations required to shield the occupants.

    “Reentry complete,” Computer said. “Adjusting course for Home Base. Please remain harnessed until further instructed.”

    Computer banked the vessel and came in at the correct speed  and trajectory to land safely, setting the vessel down with only a minimum of disturbance.

    “The Company thanks you for your service. You may now disembark.”

    Computer waited.

    “You may now disembark.”

    The skeletons strapped into the harnesses refused to answer.

  • Friday The 13th Night Drabble Party!

    Only thing better than a normal Friday Night Drabble Party? A Friday the 13th Night Drabble Party!

    It’s like the Universe had me in mind when making the calendar. Thank you, Universe!

    So, to celebrate this most holy night of slasherific slasherness I give you this drabble! I serve it up  on a plate of pan-seared liver with a side of fava beans and a nice chianti. Mmmmmmm!

    Enjoy!

    A Hard Night’s Work

    “RUN!” I scream at her. “Go get the car!”

    I toss her the keys, but they slip through her fingers, falling into the thick mud at her feet.

    The rain pours down on us, creating red rivulets of blood that flow down my skin as my wounds continue to bleed. I can’t believe he cut me. Deep. Am I dying? Am I?

    “There he is!” she yells at me. “Just past the trees!”

    “THEN GO AFTER HIM!” I shout. “Do I have to do everything?!”

    What was I thinking hiring an assistant? There’s a reason we serial killers work alone.

    How’d ya like that one?

    Cheers!

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Pssst. Hey, you. Yeah, you. You, uh, like Drabbles? Yeah? You like to Party? Yeah, you know what I mean. Party, man, Party. You do? Excellent.

    Then it’s time for another Friday Night Drabble Party! You bring the Friday and I bring the Drabble and we have ourselves a little Party!

    Woo to the hoo!

    I’m working on a new book series and it’s pretty much straight up zombie-goodness. So in the new project’s honor I bring you tonight’s drabble.

    Enjoy!

    Never Stop

    By

    Jake Bible

    The metal fencing tore into his forearm as he squeezed through. He knew it was bad, but he couldn’t take the time to stop and look. He couldn’t take the time to stop at all.

    The car had blown a gasket three miles back and his feet had been in constant motion since. The dead things were everywhere. Everywhere.

    The moans, the groans, the hisses as he sprinted by, his legs tiring, his lungs burning, the hitch in his side becoming a cramp, becoming a stabbing pain.

    He saw a door. He stopped to try it.

    He shouldn’t have stopped.
