    She wears black leather in the middle of the desert

      Around the time she gives up her name, it starts to feel like this entire revolution isn’t worth it anymore. The world is probably lucky that Kelian—she still remembers Kelian, in spite of everything—is there to pick up the pieces, the way he always

      Last week, I finally had to put Howl Palace up for sale. Years of poor financial planning had led to this decision, and I tried to take some comfort in my agent’s belief in a buyer who might show up with an all-cash offer. My agent is a highly organi

      Bravo Charli - Rick Griffin

      Bravo Charli

      by Rick Griffin

      Copyright 2012-2014 Rick Griffin

      Smashwords Edition

      Part 1

      Riley had taken the Harley. She left Razor the Dart.

      The Dart was cramped. Razor was foolish to think she could get used to vehicles which were not bikes. Keeping her zebra mane straight in a stiff Mohawk was all the more difficult with a low ceiling. Her left arm, thick and laddered with black and white stripes, always pressed against the driver side door.

      She'd taken to driving with the window open, but outside was New Mexico, coming up on summer. Even the Dart's A/C on full blast could barely keep up with the heat. She was used to the desert at this point, but the sheer amount of water she chugged made her woozy. Still, she was situated better than her old home in Chihuahua.

      Razor wondered, as she drove back to the trailer park from the grocery, if she made the right choice.

      "¡Hola!" A kid out in the yard of the passing trailers shouted as he saw Razor's clearly distinct form even behind the glare of the sun. The kid banged a broomstick between a pair of metal trash cans.

      "¡Hola Javier! Razor shouted back, smiling brightly at the human child and slowing the car to a stop. What can I do for you? Did your family like the tamales? Please, tell your mother she does not have to repay me, I insist!"

      "Si. Javier said, unenthused. Miss Maria, where is Riley? She promised me candy."

      Razor suppressed a sigh. "Lo siento . . . Riley has not returned but she will soon, I promise."

      Do you have candy for me? The child held out his hand.

      Oh I am sorry, not today. But I will be by here again on Wednesday. What candy would you like? Anything you want.

      Cherry please.

      Razor bit her lip, pausing for a moment longer than she should have. Alright! Jolly Ranchers, taffy, I'll get it for you!

      Tell your kitty to hurry up and come home, miss Maria!

      I will!

      Razor smiled and waved to Javier as she drove away. Once she was out of sight, she huffed, snorted, and twisted her hands on the wheel. Why the hell did Riley have to take the Harley? Razor had given her everything she needed to be respectable—she'd even taken to it! Riley was kind and generous, underneath her greasy coating of teenage repugnance. What went wrong?

      Razor hovered somewhere between screaming and breaking things with her hands and curling up in a puddle of her own tears. Why did she feel that leaving the gang had been a mistake?

      As
