Powder Burn Flash

Mysterydawg has been kind enough to post a debut flash of mine. This is a great site and I hope everyone goes over, signs up and supports the e-zine. Other contributions for this week are from the talents of James C. Clar, Keith Rawson, and Barry Baldwin.

Now that's what I call a "vintage" hardboiled read!

Good job!

David Cranmer said...

Chris, Thanks. I'll let you decide.

August, That's what I was going for. I love the old stuff and the direct approach.

Interesting.

Like you came out of nowhere, started in the middle of a thought, then left the person dangling as you disappeared back into the night.

Interesting indeed.

Gracias Mr. R.

Sandra, coming from you, as someone whose work I've followed and admired, that means a lot. Thank you.

Good piece. I'd pick the movie star myself.

Wonderful piece of writing! Kept me tuned right in.

Never before have I read such musings (a la G.I.) in the dramatic seconds before a showdown! Poor Mrs. H- not judged as a mere double-bagger, but, potentially, a death-bedder.

Clare, Now that's funny!
