Another Dead Weekend
David B Doc Byron


Im standing in the parking lot of the Dairy
Queen on a Friday night.
The lot is full of cars, trucks, and people, most
of them drinking beer and puffing reefer.
All of a sudden, two guys tie a stray dog to the
bumper of a car with clotheline wire by it's
collar, then barrel out of the lot at breakneck
speed.
The dog stops yelping and barking after a couple of blocks,
after his head slams into a fire hydrant and bursts
open like an over ripe melon.

Disgusted, I leave the company of the juvenile
delinquents at the DQ and walk on down the dark
street to the pool hall.
When I get there, there are two redneck shitkickers
with buzzcut hairdo's and manure stained workboots
beating the unholy hell out of some skinny little
dude with coke bottle glasses. The poor guy looks
just like Pee Wee Herman.

''He does look just like Pee Wee, doesnt he, Cletus?''
one of the buzzcuts says, as he kicks the little
guy in the balls. He drops to his knees, his eyes
bulging from their sockets like hard boiled eggs,
then pukes.
''He sure does, Buford!'' the other half retarded
neandrathal says, and spits a shit colored wad of
chewing tobacco in the little guy's face, while
he's still barfing from the nutshot.

Disgusted, I walk on in to the pool hall.

As I walk in, two big slobs in sweat stained
t-shirts and sporting military tattoos sit at the
bar drinking cheap, diareha inducing beer and
cussing alot.
I glance over towards the pool table to see two
bull dykes shooting a game of pool. The fat one with
the pierced nose and spiked hairjob sinks the last
ball, then gazes up at her squeeze, and smiles
like a possum eating a shit sandwich.
The skinny one, the squeeze, looks pissed, drops
a ten spot on the table rail, and then proceeds
to swing her pool cue across the table at the
amazon's head, and it connects with her right ear,
with a loud POP!!
The amazon dyke queen falls to the floor with a loud
THUMP!, a dumbfounded look on her face, blood
tricklng from her ear in a steady stream.
Eddie, the owner of the shithole, pulls out a sawed
off 12 guage and shoots it in the air, blowing out
a whole section of bulbs above the table. Tiny
shards of glass rain down like snow.

He starts telling fatass to vacate his
premises before she gets her ass blown off, and
she makes for the back door like a jack rabbit
with it's ass on fire, flipping Eddie the middle
finger as she goes.

Disgusted again, I decide to leave the
pleasant atmoshpere at the pool hall and go home.
I got home, grabbed two beers and my hunting rifle,
went outside and climbed up on the roof.
Ill sit up there for awhile again, getting in a
little target practice, have a couple of cold ones.
Im thinking maybe if I sit up here long enough,
often enough, Ill eventually get rid of all this
riff-raff roaming the streets on weekends.

I load my rifle, take a drink of my beer, and wait
for another dead weekend to liven up.

"Very interesting, but I can't say i like it very much. It didn't hold my interest and seemed pointless. I guess the point is you're going to sit on your house now and shoot at this town full of criminals. -clotheline wire by its(not it's) collar - -cheap, diarrhea inducing beer- is just a terrible description. -like a possum eating a shit sandwhich- once again, simile or descriptions involving fecal matter make me won't to stop reading. I don't think possums eat shit either and if they do, i doubt if they're smiling. " -- Michael Upchurch.
"I'm not sure where you're going with this one. People are bad? They deserve to be shot at? I think you should develop your main character more, and use a subtler way of bringing him to the climax of wanting to shoot people - more ominious, less obvious. Why would a bartender shot his own bar up? I've lived in bad neighborhoods and they don't generally do this. Is this story set in a special time or place? " -- Iam.
"Pointless... totally pointless." -- Crit.
"hey doc, i liked this story. sure there's a lot of profanity and negative emotion, but not everything can be cuddly and nice. the main thing was it flowed well and you didn't try to make a novel out of it. nice read, keep it up! free_love98 yahoo com" -- sunny, dc, dc, usa.
