Bella Vista: Slug

One Trick Pony

For the last fifteen or so years I've been living with a bunch of dead guys at a motel in West Texas. Like the characters in my stories, I'd really like to move on, see the world, go places. But I'm just like them. Anchored by love, worn down by circumstances and fascinated by how much there really is underneath it all. So I keep writing their stories and tell myself that someday, when I've got this all out of my system, I'll write deep, meaningful literature about... something else. In the meantime, this is a place for the short attention spanned. I'm making a commitment to keep it small here. Flash fiction and scenes from the life inspired by, The Bella Vista Motel.

Thanks for reading.

Slug

Finally, here you are, I been waiting for you for hours. I only had one or two, though, I know how you feel about me being messy out in public. When other guys tried to buy me one, or talk me up with those lines of crap, I told them to dry up. It ain't right to leave a girl sitting in a bar alone for so long, people get wrong ideas. But you're here now, and it's all over with, so let's just be glad together, okay? Here baby, have a drink, it'll remind you to love me.
