  G ary Ray prays his fleece-lined Carhartt, wool socks, and thermos of coffee will keep him warm enough to see daylight. The chill created by underarm sweat and the steel trimmings of the shotgun he hugs does him no favors in that regard. He stands. Rests the shotgun on the folding lawn chair. Stretches. Exhaled breath pours from his mouth in frosty plumes as he glares at the fogged-over glass door to his store. The pink piece of paper glued to the other side indicates the Randall County Sheriff’s Office will seize the property at 1607 4 th Avenue, Canyon, TX, and everything within its four walls at seven a.m. Four hours from now. Gary’s under no illusion his stand will stop the morning’s events from happening, but like any Texan worth his salt, he won’t go down without a fight. And fight’s all he has left. Turning around, two camping lanterns allow him to see what’s left of the small business handed down to him fifteen years prior. RAY’S SPORTING GOODS. Empty metal shelves d...

M el moved the shotgun so he could reach down and turn up the radio. “ I love this song.” “ What’s this?” Dom asked. “ Don’t change it.” “ It’s crap,” Dom said. “ It’s the Guess Who.” “ What’s the Guess who?” “ The name of the band. The Guess Who, that’s who.” “ It’s terrible.” Dom replied. “The guy’s singing about no sugar in his coffee.” Mel reached into his denim jacket, removed a pack of cigarettes, and lit one. He exhaled all over the front of the dashboard and put the shotgun across his lap. “ You know this song has to do with losing a piece of ass, right?” Mel said. Dom hit the Tobin Bridge, reached into the ashtray, and grabbed fifty cents for the toll. “ How you figure? Sounds like he’s out of sugar for his coffee and real pissed off about it.” “ You’ve been heart broken, right? That Tina chick? The cokehead you met at Smugs’ Cove?” Mel Asked. “ Yeah, b...

Predators and Prey, fiction by N.M. Cedeno

  H e was so focused on how many gold necklaces he could grab from the smashed display case that the distinctive cha-chunk of a pump-action shotgun behind his head almost caused Ziggy to faint. “You made a serious mistake, son.” The booming voice of the wrinkled, pink dude behind the glass counter was unnervingly loud. It reminded Ziggy of his grandfather, who would have tanned his hide if he knew what Ziggy was doing. Gramps had been loud too, though Ziggy never considered why that might be. Maybe old dudes with big ears and bumpy, misshapen noses were always loud to compensate for being ancient. “Drop the pistol, put down the necklaces, and face me,” the too-loud voice commanded. Ziggy did what he was told. Under his ski mask his face and head were soaked with sweat. The droplets trickled down his neck. The old dude came around the counter and collected Ziggy’s gun. “This thing is plastic. Is it a water gun? What the hell were you thinking?” Ziggy bit the inside of his chee...
