Ain't two things more alike than white-hot love and a .44 caliber slug. Both are heavy as all hell and pack a prize-fighter's wallop, and both'll send you to Hell faster than a suped-up Hemi. Bucky contemplated this, listening to the fuzzy Drive-in audio. "Round two," he said, rolling the revolver chamber with a dirty thumb. Nickel clacked, the trigger clicked. But, the damn hammer fell on the damn, lucky five. Tough rocks, he thought, and took another swig of Jackie D. under pale glow of Muddy, Bloody Midnight.

What a scene, right out of Hickville. I mav have been behind this fellar's 'mobile--little rust, little bondo, little primer on it, and one piece of side chrome-strip pulled away and pointin' nowhere in particular? Great VI!

I imagine this happening under a Kentucky moon.

Thanks for the comments! And Mike, Muddy, Bloody Midnight isn't a real flick--but it sure is one of my short stories comin' out in October.

Is Muddy, Bloody Midnight a real movie? It should be. Perfect accompaniment for Bucky's fooling around. I'm betting he also runs with scissors. Nice six.

Ain't two things more alike than white-hot love and a .44 caliber slug. I love it.

This was pretty much high school in my hometown.

The words "...rolling the revolver chamber with a dirty thumb" really rolled off my tongue, and then "Nickel clacked, the trigger clicked." The sounds are efffective and made me want to hold a gun.

liked the dirty thumb detail. Good and morose six. I like morose.
