In
The Demon's Head #117: Deal Me In
May
24, 2013
It's finally Friday. I'd like to take a moment and
say a special hello and good luck to my Fiancée Liz Butler as she begins a new
venture coming weekend. I'm very excited, and I feel that she'll do well. Second,
if you haven't picked up a copy of "Six Feet Under" yet you can do
that either at Smashwords or get the Dual pack of "Life After Dark"
and "Six Feet Under" at Amazon for the first time, both are only
$.99. As far as promotion goes, that's all I've got. I'd like to say thanks to
everyone who reads this blog regularly. Let's take a look at today's picture:
Deal
Me In
We're
still not sure how it started,
We
were playing cards,
And
out of nowhere,
A
sound came from the back,
Like
an explosion,
We
thought that it was just something,
On
the street,
But
then,
The
fire began to engulf the entire building,
At
a rapid pace,
The
doors were blocked,
And
the windows,
Locked,
We
couldn't get out,
The
fire burned slowly,
But
spread,
It
kept us all in,
Then
there was another explosion,
This
time,
It
came from the kitchen,
We
felt the building start to shake,
And
finally it came down,
Everything
was black
****
I
came to,
The
sunlight outside,
And
the fresh air was nice,
I
looked around,
And
there was Paul,
Tim,
and James,
They
were sitting at the table,
I
walked over,
"What
the hell happened?"
I
looked down,
And
realized the cards,
They
were playing with,
Were
completely charred,
Leaving
the numbers,
And
suits,
Barely
visible,
I
sat down,
And
looked around,
All
of their faces,
Were
melted,
They
seemed to be missing the entire side,
I
could see eye sockets,
And
in Paul's case,
There
was a piece of his brain,
Almost
as if left there by accident,
Lodged
in the side of his cheek,
"Are
you in?" James asked.
"What
happened?" I asked again,
"The
bar caught fire,
And
collapsed,
They
cleaned it all up,
But
we're still here,
You
took the longest to come to,
We've
already played 3 hands,
So
are you in?"
I
looked around,
And
for the first time I noticed,
People
walking by,
And
not giving us a second glance,
I
looked back,
Thought
about everything that could come,
And
took a deep breath,
"Yeah,
Deal
me In."
About
the Piece
"Deal
Me In" was an idea that came as soon as I saw the picture. I kind of got
my inspiration from a short story that I read of Stephen Kings' some years ago.
All in all I have to say that these three pieces may be some of my favorites
that I've ever done. I have to say thanks to everyone whose read them and
enjoyed them. I'd also like to take a moment and dedicate this piece to my
brand new Nephew, Logan Hoss, who was born this morning.
