Six on the Sixth: February 2015

By Adam Ickes

The Boy Ain’t Right (Aardvark)

He eats ants. That ain’t right.

The Rotten Apple (Apple)

One bite-vomit tickled her throat.

At the Truck Stop (Truck)

The trucker winked at the hooker.

Hunting “Accident” (Kill)

The bullet ripped through his uncle.

Left for Dead (Left)

Broken and beaten, he plotted revenge.

Paper Cuts are Hell (Paper)

She sucked at the painful cut.

That last one is so true…I work in a print shop so paper cuts are frequent. The worst ones are by the gloss cardstock…it’s like a knife.

Love them, can’t wait to post mine.

  I rarely get paper cuts, but I’ve never got myself with glossy card stock. I guess I can count myself lucky.

  I agree. We shouldn’t judge. Its the narrator that is judging here, not me. I don’t think the narrator is quite right in the head himself anyway.
