I took a moment to take a deep breath. I was nervous. That annoys me more than anything. There I am in the thick of things and I begin to feel that tiny anticipatory vibration that I know can turn into full blown fear, followed by embarrassment, unless I shake it off quick. I caught the glint off the stainless steel barrel in the corner of my eye. That was the distraction that I needed.
I raised the revolver forward, pointing down range, as calmness returned to my muscles. Both eyes open, I sighted with my right and slowed my exhalation. Halfway through the out breath I paused. Squeezed. The massive gun roared deafingly, terrorizing the 150 feet of concrete ceiling, floor, and walls witness to their own nearly equal reflection of my fury.
The target at the end stood still. Unmoved. Recalling the paper to where I stood via electric motor and cable, I awaited to see how close to the center my shot might be. The target came to a stop a foot from my face, waving uninterestedly. I casually grabbed the sheet by its corner so I might have a better look. And the look was of perplexity and mystery for the target had no hole.

As some of you may know, I’m a Joss Whedon fan. Don’t know the man personally, but I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve ever seen him do on TV or film (and the Astonishing X-Men series he writes for Marvel). So, it is with heavy heart that I post here, news of the demise of the Wonder Woman project he was writing. Man, if anyone knows how to write a super chick story, it’s Joss. Sigh…
Here’s the poop, as posted by Joss hisself on his Whedonesque web site.
Oh, the pain… the pain….

Google Adwords is one of Big Head Press’s advertisers. We have text and image ad campaigns for each of our stories. Google Adwords has an editorial policy which attempts to keep the ads they serve up “family friendly”. It would appear our scantily clad girls in the banner ad for Roswell, Texas are a little TO scantily clad. As a result they deactivated the image ad.
So, I requested a new image from Scott which would meet Google Adwords editorial requirements standards. Here is what he sent.
Perhaps they should wear pink leather sexy (yet sufficiently covering) nazi outfits.
Word.
