The Winger Chronicles – Part 7

First off, for those of you wondering how Luka is coming along, here’s an updated picture. The front side is just about done, now it’s on to the back. Not perfect, but not too shabby for a first sculpt.

This story was an absolute bear for me to trim down to 100 words. I almost left it longer, but wouldn’t have been able to live with myself. I could have gotten a much, much, much longer story from this prompt, but I forced myself to limit it to the 100 words. I didn’t want to cut any of it, but some tough decisions had to be made in the name of my OCD like compulsion for exactly 100 words.

As always, thanks to Rochelle for hosting and the lot of you hooligans for reading.

I’m going to add a page that compiles all of the previous Winger posts into one space after I post this one. That way I don’t have to keep linking back to them. You can catch up there if you need to, just click the “Winger Drabbles” link at the top.

Comments, criticism, and half drunken rants are encouraged, as per usual.

Always Be Prepared (The Winger Chronicles: Part 7)

The glowing stream had long since disappeared into the bowels of the earth. Their only source of light became a flashlight he kept in his pack.

Liv’s fingers wrapped around the knob of the door embedded in the back wall of the cavern.

Winger pulled his gun from the holster on his hip and leveled it above the light. “Ready.”

She yanked open the door.

He watched the narrow beam of light. By the time he saw the bladed pendulum coming his way, reaction time was nil.

It ripped into his left bicep.

The flashlight tumbled.

The cave went dark.

The Winger Chronicles - Part 6

So here’s the deal. You’ve been good little boys and girls so I’m bringing Winger out of retirement to continue his journey. You’re welcome. The last time I wrote about him was September of last year, so you’d do well to reread the first five parts of the story (linked below) to catch up on his journey.

As always, thanks to Rochelle for hosting the get together and you, dear reader, for doing your part.

I’m still accepting comments, criticism, and half drunken rants. Act now before this offer ends.

Prey (The Winger Chronicles: Part 6)

At the edge of the stream they knelt and feigned drinking. Neither had any plans of actually ingesting the glowing, sulfurous water.

Winger eyed his reflection in a small waterfall until the hulking demon appeared over his shoulder. A well placed boot sent the beast stumbling backward and howling in anger. Winger whirled around, leveling his gun in the process.

He squeezed the trigger three times. One shot to the chest, two to the head- just like he’d been taught. The roar of gunfire bounced off the cavern walls in a deafening cacophony that left his ears ringing for hours.

Open Your Mind

I missed last week due to the fact that I was enjoying myself on vacation. I regret nothing and you can’t make me! Here is a picture from my vacation. It’s me and my new friend Mr. Goat. He lives in Columbus, Ohio- at the zoo. He demanded I take a photo of us. Who am I to deny such a request?

You’re going to see something weird from me this week. This is my second FF story in a row without a dark twist. I must be coming down with something. I better get myself to a witch doctor soon. This story came to mind immediately and I had to run with it because Karl is basically me in story form. I tend to see things not for what they are, but for what I wish they would be.

As always, thanks to Rochelle for hosting and the lot of you for reading.

Open Your Mind

(word count: 100)

“Tell me you’re seeing this.” Karl pointed toward the shore. “I mean, just look at them. Look how beautiful they are.”

“The cranes? I wouldn’t exactly call them beautiful.” Janet didn’t have Karl’s gift. She couldn’t see the wonder in the everyday of life. She was a sad product of reality.

Karl, on the other hand, was a product of an overactive imagination. “Cranes? What are you talking about?” He looked down at his daughter. “Look at the giraffes, Cass. Aren’t they pretty?”

“I see them, daddy.” Cassidy’s smile melted his heart. “They’re perfect.”

Janet shook her head in frustration.
