Bio
born in Illinois. 5 year Navy veteran. Married for 25 years (not counting the first five when we just cohabited. 4 kids, 6 grandkids, 3 brothers 2 living, 2 sisters 1 living, a mother living, a father not living. 1 dog a labradoodle, and a current cat population of 9 (I'm working on that number) I've done a lot of jobs in my life, from shill at a carnival burlesque show to making medium caliber ammunition. I built inkjet printers, embedded computer boards, restored and repaired both cars, motorcycles and electronics. I read, write, and do arithmetic (albeit poorly) My wife claims that I have more useless knowledge than anyone on earth and resultingly no one will play trivial pursuit with me anymore. I do play pinohcle but due to my inability to cheat I don't win very often. Recently disabled I turned to Open Salon to re-engage my writing bug. Update, cat population now at 3. homes found for kittens. Update two add one cocker spaniel to the list and maybe just shoot me.

Escape (Hot Chocolate)

Rate: 8 Flag

Well, this is good and bad I guess.  I have a car that isn't hot yet, a new identity, and another body to dispose of.  I think I'll wait a while and then just burn it all.  If there was only a way to keep my old car I could just do everything and then there would be no reason to even look for it.  Shit this is a tough one, I could switch tags and hope to get out of Wyoming and through Colorado and pick up a cheap car in Kansas.

Maybe I'll try to make all of this look accidental.  I will have to drag my latest friend inside and that will make the place to creepy to sleep in.  What to do, what to do?  There doesn't seem to be a lot of blood to clean up or hide.  Glad she wasn't fat, I don't know if I can deal with having to move her to far.  Hey, I think I may have a better plan, I will put a note up on her door saying she had to go to Denver for a few days, ditch my car and split in hers.  If nothing else it'll buy me a couple more days to put some miles between me and here.

 Miles and a short pause in my adventure to get lost again.  I hadn't really thought about this but they could finally have a way to look for me now.  Son of a bitch! I hate goddam Wyoming, I should have went south in Utah, I'd still be clean.  It's done now anyway, can't change it just have to deal with it.

I am on my way down I-25 to Denver, big cities are easy to get lost in.  There are lots of new friends there too.  To soon for that though, I see the headlines in the Chyenne newspapers at a truck stop, Missing Laramie Woman found dead.  So I am going to have to ditch her car in Denver after all.  

I think I'll hang around Denver until I can get a set of clean papers and a car with no wants on it.  There are bound to be jobs and people who can get those things there.   All I know is that I don't want to overstay my welcome, if you know what I mean.  There have to be cops looking for me by now so I suppose the dream of going on forever is going to have to stop and just concentrate on the business of getting on as long as I can.

HUGGGGGGGG
This IS a tough one. "Latest" friend - how many have there been? From the sound of things there's going to be more. An edgy and scary read.
intense + ~ I don't normally read fiction, but you drew me in. Loved it.
All good things have to come to an end, even your cover. Run while you can, the Dog's are Loose~
Not aat all what I was expecting...really good writing, tight and succinct. Bravo.
