Killing Time – #drabble

Killing Time
I cruised by slowly. Everything looked hazy.
“What’s your pleasure tonight?” I asked.
“Girls? Cocaine?” I inquired.
“Already high. I vote girls,” I decided.
I nodded my head. “Good choice.”
I drove past the drug corner and toward the red light section of town. I slowed down when I reached the girls.
“Blonde?”
“Redhead. I need some fire tonight.”
I nodded. “Good choice. Tall or petite?”
“Petite. I feel the need to dominate tonight.”
I rolled down the window. Yelled at the petite redhead. Flashed a Benjie. She sashayed over. Got in.
Ten blocks of silence. Four hours of screams.

Promptly Written 
Extremely well written – going to stay with me for a while
Raw street sprinkled with bada–. I liked it a lot. Extremely … well written.
A walk I took with the photo prompt too. It looks like the photo brought out the dark side in many.
Happy New Year 2017 🎉 Cheers 🍷
Isadora 😎
Thanks, Isadora (love your name by the way.. may have to use it in a story some day!)
I look forward to reading yours (I will get to it today!)
Happy New Year to you as well 🙂
Thank you for the compliment on my name. It’s a big shoe to wear as a child but now works well for my artist life. I’ll look forward to your comment on my story. Thanks again … Isadora 😎
Crazy creepy! I kept wondering why is this character talking to himself? Because he’s a psycho killer. Didn’t see that coming but should have. Nice.
Why do I feel all creepy now…
Scary! Nicely done!
Dear Lori,
Why did my mind go to Pulp Fiction? I like the inner dialogue, even though it was ugly.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Oooo, I dunno, Rochelle.. but I love where your mind went 😀 thanks hun!
Yeeks! Like the inner (or outer) monologue. Nice one.
I’d love to know what a “Benjie” is, though. Google was no help 🙂
Benjie is a $100 bill.. Benjamin Franklin… I’ve heard friends who’re heavy into drugs refer to a $100 bill as a Benjie before… (I could have spelled it incorrectly, but eh, it will do for the story)
Thanks! On TV programmes people often refer to a note’s amount by the person on it, and since I’ve never seen American money in real life, I never have any idea how much they’re talking about 🙂
Ah! Well, happy to help you out 😀
Dang. Well done.
Thanks, Joey 🙂
