Happy New Year

Deacon Cassidy exits the liquor store, he has a 12 pack of Budweiser cans tucked under his arm, he's smiling, he thinks to himself, "2013 will bring good things". He turns right on the street and heads to the bus stop. Three steps out the door he bumps into a man, dark haired, small, and angry in the face. "What did you say to me?" the man asks, Deacon replies, "what?" from his jacket pocket the man produces a box cutter, slashes Deacon across the stomach. Deacon collapses to the cold, hard, concrete, gripping his abdominal. As warm, wet, red blood seeps out Deacon's body, the man stoops down, collects Deacons beer and whispers, "Happy New Year". As the man runs away, Deacon rolls to his back, looks up at the night sky and replies, "same to you".

  1. Very interesting blog. A lot of blogs I see these days don't really provide anything that attract others, but I'm most definitely interested in this one. Just thought that I would post and let you know.
