busy

i've been really busy with school and stuff... just letting you know i'm not dead!

story: meet Angela.

Kyle rose form his chair. The night was cool and peaceful. Pepin was already asleep in the next room, but something kept Kyle awake. Kyle couldn’t shake the feeling that something life changing was about to happen. Nevertheless Kyle lay down in the warm bed and soon fell asleep, still unable to shake the fear that gripped his heart.

                The next morning Kyle rose to find that Pepin had gone into town to by some supplies. Kyle walked down the stairs to the bar. The Jukebox was playing softly. He ordered a drink and took a large swig, finally relaxed after his fitful dreams. The uneasiness quickly returned, however, when the music stopped following a loud crash that rang out from behind him. Kyle turned to see a burly man lying among the ruins of the jukebox.  A woman was standing next to a table where Kyle guessed the burly man had been sitting a few moments before. She was tall, with somewhat loose jeans and a black sleeveless midriff. There was a crimson sash around her waist with a curved cutlass strapped to it. The picture was completed by a straw hat with a wide brim that was stuck lazily onto her head.

                “- and there’s also more where that came from if you try it again.”  She was saying. Then she swaggered up to the counter and pulled up a chair next to Kyle. Kyle turned around and took another swig from his mug.

“I’ll have the usual James.”
