“Pahadron glanced around. “No, dear,â€� he leaned into the open window, "I’m simply telling you to keep away from my sources of revenue, or the payment I’ll exact from the both of you will be more than you’re able to part with in comfort.â€� His smile vanished, his dark eyes glittered, and his meaning was quite clear to me.”

“Too late. Torn’s rear tire hit the perennial wet spot from a leak in the tunnel ceiling. Rookie mistake. When the back wheel hydroplaned on the wet surface, he felt the sickening feelings of sliding and weightlessness as he started to separate from the bike.”

“Yep, that's the right place. His cousin is loaded. He told me it was one of his daddy's properties," he whispered. "Don't go doing anything foolish, Sam. You drop those prisoners off and hightail it out of there. We've been paid for delivery only," he cautioned. ”

“Although Chief Nalte and the Pythoness Cardea had been discrete about the mishap, I could see by the nodding and murmuring ascending the amphitheatre, row by row, that news of the concern over the girlsâ€� disappearance was spreading.”

“What else can it predict?â€�
Now the other jocks encircled her like a bullseye.
“Any event with data,� Holly said and really felt the need to leave. This was a set-up.
Big Bob grinned. “Like when I’ll get a date?�
Holly’s smile slid across her face. “Low probability events are hard to forecast.�
“H³Ü³ó?â€�
Josh punched his shoulder. “She means, you are not likely to get a date.”

“Is there a problem?â€�
“No. In fact, she’s quite impressed with your work. So much so, she wants you to be appointed head legal counsel.�
“Yes, she did mention something along those lines in this morning’s meeting. But I didn’t want to say anything in case she’d been blowing smoke. Switching isn’t a problem, is it? I mean, I’d be happy to try to smooth things over with the other lawyer.�
“That’s not necessary,â€� Saul said, dryly. “I’m the other attorney.”

“His cellphone alarm beeped. Now. Who would he nail?
A single target tonight. So, a single bullet in the gun.
David put the crosshairs on one of the guys walking out of the Quick Trip. Tall man, longish hair, scruffy beard. The guy pulled keys from his pocket and the crosshairs settled on his face.
What was next? David pulled the trigger. The back of the guy’s head exploded. A massive wound.
The guy’s friend looked around. The pregnant woman screamed. The black guy ran. The girls hugged each other.
David pulled the trunk lid back down. Clicked and locked. A gentle walkway wound around the mall. Sol slowly drove away.
David’s breaths came fast, almost pants. He then took his black pants off and removed his soiled underwear. He reached in the plastic bag for the fresh pair. Changing in the trunk of a dark and hot and moving car was difficult. Just part of the job now.
When he pulled the trigger, he orgasmed. Always did.
David slowed his breathing. Taylor series for ex = 1 + x + X2 / 2! + X3 / 3! etc.
Yes, that was better.
He closed his eyes and let go of the rope and let the rifle roll to one side. That guy’s head exploded.
They drove away, below the speed limit. Didn’t want to attract attention. No need to, in no hurry.”

“Outside the wind scraped around the corners of the hut. Inside, only the spitting of the fire broke the steady snores. She paused at the fat one’s side, her hand inches from the hilt of his knife. How would she do this; how could she do this?”
― Ernie Gammage, What Awaits?

“She could feel him reaching places inside her that were unnatural.”
― John Pease, Ezekiel's Eyes

“Your true face,â€� she said. He replied, “Yes, the ‘faceâ€� that God sees when he talks to me.”

“The sight of this half naked man in Susan’s apartment calling Aiden’s woman Suzy, infuriated him even further. He pushed past him. “I have to speak to her right now,â€� he said.
A petite blonde sauntered out of the bedroom wearing a man’s shirt. But before he could open his mouth, the bruiser grabbed him, hauled him out into the hall, pulled back, and wound up. The force of the blow sent Aiden careening into the opposite wall.
“Wrong Susan,â€� Aiden said, sliding to the floor.”

― Ron Baratono

“The engineer didn't pay any attention to a lone figure poised on the top of the bridge, staring down at the oncoming train. He wore a black cowboy hat and a tattered dister coat. His waist was belted with two Colt 45 revolvers.”
