“What about me?”

“Maybe you shouldn’t have volunteered to teach redneck Andy Warhol how to make the lion eat us."

It's time for some horror and Bodie Myers is bringing it in part one of Death Chick 666.

Chucky the lion gets in on the action and Felix finds himself in some trouble int he next installment of The Lion, The Bitch, and the War on Everyone.

“What are you doing?” Janet asked as she pushed the pistol so it was aiming at the floor.

“I’m making sure we both don’t end up as lion food.”

“He doesn’t mean anything by it, he’s a lion acting like a lion.”

“Yeah? Well, I’m a man acting like a man. Men like to shoot things, especially things that see them as food.”

This episode feature's the conclusion of Bodie Myer's Death Chick 666 and in The Lion, the Bitch, and the War on Everyone it's a choice between big guns or big teeth for Janet and Big.

“What did you do in the circus, little man? Were you a clown?”

“Last guy who called me a clown got punched in the dick.”

“Then what?”

“I was never in the circus, you Andy Warhol-looking piece of shit. I’m not here to do tricks or entertain your albino ass. Before you ask, I don’t know Frodo, Snow White, or Santa Claus either, you skinny-ass, melatonin-lacking, freakshow.”

“You are a nasty little man aren’t you?”

“Take these things off my wrists and I’ll show you...”

This week Todd Morr brings the late-night drive-thru noir with his story Alberto's and it's a visit to the lion's pit in The Lion, The Bitch, and the War on Everyone.

“Is it twelve feet tall?”

“No.”

“Electrified?”

“No.”

“Does he have dogs?”

“No, he hates them. He does have a lion.”

“You told me, does it roam the grounds free?”

“No.”

“Does it bark?”

“No, it’s a lion.”

“I think Felix and I can handle a fence.”

Bill Baber brings the grit and the vengeance with his flash fiction piece, Darkness or Light, and shit gets blown up in the next chapter of The Lion, The Bitch, and the War on Everyone.

“I don’t want to see her get hurt.”

“Well, that can be arranged."

“It can?”

“Sure, we’ll hurt you first. Bad enough you won’t be worrying about her anymore.”

“Come on...”

“Don’t plead. You’re a fucking lion tamer for god’s sake, you should have nuts the size of basketballs.”

Stratton pointed to Sapphire, “You don’t see her whining.”

John Thompson guides us through the Dog Days and it's another explosive chapter of The Lion, The Bitch, and The War on Everyone.
