Friday Night Drabble Party! (with announcements!)
"Ten Cents"
That’s right, folks! I have announcements!
Well, probably just a single announcement, but with multiple parts. Or would that still be announcements (plural)?
English is hard…
But, before all that, I just got back from Costa Rica for my wife and I’s 25th wedding anniversary. We had a blast! And, of course, there was so much surreality to it all that I may have a new story in me. This one will be way different. And will all be hosted here on Substack, so be sure to stay subscribed and be ready to spread the word once it launches (it’ll be a bit, so stay tuned)!
Now, for the actual announcement!
The Fight Iron series and the Dead Team alpha series are both being rebooted by Aethon Books!
They’ll have new titles and covers and are on pre-order right now. RIGHT NOW!
Check out these awesome covers!
Click the covers to go directly to the pre-order pages on the ol’ Zon. Or click the links below to go to my website and read the descriptions and maybe dick around on the website and see if there are any other goodies that pique your interest.
Huzzah!
Why new titles, you ask? Because Amazon has algorithms that will bury a relaunch in seconds if you keep the same name. Plus, all of these books are like seven years old, so a refresh is what keeps the sales going and the lights on. Publishing has been doing this forever. You’d be surprised (or not) how many books get new names and you never had a clue.
Anyhoo, go get you some!
Now, on with the drabble!
Cheers!

Ten Cents
By
Jake Bible
“Ten cents.”
Margie blinked, frowned, then shook her head.
“Ten cents? What the hell is a cent?”
The dirty man -hair wild, eyes wilder- shrugged.
“Money. Cash. Coin.”
“That didn’t clear up shit, old man,” Margie snapped. “Two strips of leather. Will that do?”
“Ten cents.”
“I ain’t got no fucking ten cents!”
“Then you ain’t got shit. Go away, child.”
Margie eyed the hat, seriously thinking of grabbing and running. But the way the old man’s body hummed with crazy energy, she figured he be on her ass in a heartbeat.
“I’ll come back.”
“With ten cents!”
“Fuck you!”
