CAMPBELL’S EYES

January 28, 2014

Campbell’s eyes rolled from their sockets every midnight and ventured forth to terrorize London. Top hat jaunty and cape fluttering, Campbell’s eyes spun madly along the fog-shrouded streets. Drunken harlots and flocks of salvation mendicants flung themselves in terror from the oncoming surge of Campbell’s eyes. Sweeping in to a brew house, Campbell’s eyes demanded service and quickly or else. Quaffing specially prepared foul ale from glass tankards and hurling the empties to shatter on the hearth, Campbell’s eyes dared any of the wretched vermin huddling in the shadows to defy them. Receiving in response to their challenge not a thing save silent quivering, Campbell’s eyes slammed from the brew house and raged home to reoccupy Campbell’s eye sockets before he had to wake up and prepare breakfast for his wife if he didn’t want any trouble. And he didn’t. Want any trouble, that is.

RED AND CLAW

January 21, 2014
Tags:

Red and Claw Harpoon, moonshiners from Odd Lake County, flung themselves away from the explosion. Tattered and bleeding, they swore revenge on Dave Shuttlesworth. Driving to town in their battered and bleeding Model T, they swore revenge on Tim Potfellow, proprietor of the General Store. Walking down Main Street, shotguns cradled in blood, they swore revenge on Muddy Alvin, the town sober. They even swore revenge on the Widow Ballard and her chimp. They did a whole lot of swearing that day. Truth, they did a whole lot of swearing every day. But that day stood out just a little bit more than the others.
