The Aztec Curse – Chapter 8

  “Pleasure to meet you,” I say to the bear shambling toward me as Randy locks the cell door behind me. “I’d shake your hand but…” I look back over my shoulder at Randy and waggle my bound hands at him. “A little help here?” Randy spits tobacco juice on the floor. Apparently he never … Continue reading The Aztec Curse – Chapter 8

The Aztec Curse – Chapter 7

There’s lots of things I don’t understand about the white man and one of them is his strange attachment to his hat. Most men would rather lose their pants than their hat. They’re also oddly honorable when it comes to hats. The same man who will shoot you for looking at him cross-eyed, or gut … Continue reading The Aztec Curse – Chapter 7

The Aztec Curse – Chapter 6

“What do we got here?” The voice comes from very far away. I want to ignore it and go back to sleep, but it seems important somehow that I don’t. Besides, someone is kicking me in the ribs and I ought to tell them why they should stop. I moan and try to roll away. … Continue reading The Aztec Curse – Chapter 6

The Aztec Curse – Chapter 5

For a long moment everyone just stands there stunned. The safe is completely gone. Nothing to show where it is but a little muddy water, already swirling away. Maybe a couple of bubbles. That was some soft mud. “Son of a bitch!” Boyce shouts. Without any warning he lunges at me, growling, his arms spread … Continue reading The Aztec Curse – Chapter 5

The Aztec Curse – Chapter 4

Pretty quick we’re all straightened out and headed for that rocky bluff. It’s a good thing we got four horses pulling on that safe because it’s not the kind of thing that takes much to dragging. It leaves a big furrow in the ground and digs out whole clumps of grass by their roots. For … Continue reading The Aztec Curse – Chapter 4

The Aztec Curse – Chapter 3

I don’t bother shouting. If that’s a repeater and the man holding it knows how to use it there’ll be four men down before they can so much as squawk. Instead, almost like my Colt’s a living thing and it knows what I want, suddenly my gun’s in my hand. In the same instant I … Continue reading The Aztec Curse – Chapter 3

The Aztec Curse – Chapter 2

“What is it?” Boyce snarls. He’s not a patient man. “We take it with us,” I say. His face twists up just like I knew it was going to. “That’s the biggest damnfool idea I ever heard,” he snaps. “Were you planning on putting it in your pocket?” “You didn’t let me finish.” “Oh, good, … Continue reading The Aztec Curse – Chapter 2

The Aztec Curse

In the spirit of old-school pulp fiction, here’s chapter 1 Sometimes I hate it when I’m right. Like now, for instance. I knew these boys were going to be trouble when I joined up, I just knew it. And sure enough, I’m right. I start thinking about drawing my other Colt .44. If there’s one … Continue reading The Aztec Curse

Watching the End of the World – Epilog Part III (The End!)

Nate’s phone rang and his first impulse was to ignore it. Even though he changed his number regularly, people still somehow found it out and called him or messaged him. His hard and fast rule now was to never answer his phone unless he knew for sure who it was and it was someone he … Continue reading Watching the End of the World – Epilog Part III (The End!)
