Widow Maker - The city lay shrouded in the distance, looming like a fragile virgin clothed in white. The year was 2785. Vincent’s keen eyesight cut through the fog, singeing over the towering steel buildings like a guided laser. He was searching for something lost, something that he would probably never reclaim. continue

The Haunted House - "Over here, I tell you! The coffin is over here!" Mona rolled her eyes up at Frank. Idiot. He was acting if he'd found the secret entrance in the wall rather than her. She had a good mind to turn back and let Frank stand his chances of being sacrificed by the coven of she-male vampires that inhabited the dungeon of the castle. . . . continue

The Crying Veil - Anna's eyes widened in terror as the wedding veil she had situated on her head was suddenly covered with blood - drops of blood. She detected crying, pitiful crying as if someone in her head were in agony.... continue

Mother Minnie & the Vampire Next Door

"Oh mother-"

"Perhaps now, Sam, your children might make time to come and visit me? I haven't seen Tasa in about two years now," Minnie blatantly pointed out.

"Well, she has been busy with college," Yvonne rushed to defend. Then, "You know Mother Minnie, Sam and I haven't seen her since she saw you, so we do know how much you are missing her."

Minnie nodded as she opened the front door, then commented in a dry tone, "Yes, you have much to look forward to in your golden years if the same course follows."

"Now Mother Minnie, I hope that you aren't hinting that Sam and I have been lax in caring for you-"

"Yvonne, frankly I do not feel that you have ever cared for me," Minnie told her with a smile, her gray eyes magnified behind the thick glasses. "It's been what - six months since you've darkened my door? I'm more of a fly in the ointment than a family member."

Sam leaned over and kissed his mother's withered cheek, the word 'Judas' flashing through Minnie's mind as her thoughts continued to whirl. Until now, she had not realized how spoiled and self-centered that her children were. Everything was so clear now - just as she was reaching the last leg of her journey. As with all things in life, she had been a day too late.

"Once you consider the situation, you'll feel much better come morning," Sam eased out in a light tone as he and Yvonne stepped into the gathering shadows of the evening, their up-beat attitude infuriating Minnie. "You will have so many new friends - so many activities to keep your thoughts occupied."

"Yes, so they will not be focusing on vampires," Minnie mocked.

After Sam and Yvonne drove away in the expensive sport's car, Minnie retired to the gardens in back of her house where she wept until there was nothing left.

How could she leave all that was dear to her? Her home, her cherished garden, her life - and her dear friend Oliver who lived next door?

The Rat Within - The flame of the candle flickered through the darkened hole of a window, the only evidence that the tiny cottage was occupied. Mammoth-sized rats had slowly eaten their way through the thatched roof, allowing the elements of nature to steal inside. continue

Vampire Show-Stopper, Let the Show Begin - Buck had buckteeth.

Zen snarled as he viewed him standing on stage, looking like an overgrown Texas jackrabbit! What had possessed Henry to choose this ugly boy for the part? continue

Beauty is Only Skin Deep - The Hound & the Fox was THE popular place to be for hair styling, massages, and body wraps. Zelda’s two-year success story was phenomenal, turning a run-down cottage into a booming business, and going it alone at that. continue

The Old Bat - Kate didn’t walk as straight as she used to. Old age had settled in, and along with it a case of painful arthritis. She felt a bit like the large city she had become embedded inside; lost, lonely, ancient. It hadn’t been that way eighty years ago when her family had settled here. She had been ten, and the city had been enjoying its infancy. continue

Please Won't You be My Neighbor - Neighbors. Drake Jones suddenly regretted moving to the suburbs. It wasn’t a good place for vampires to live, and he was paying dearly for that mistake. continue

Code of the Fang - Hot, deserted, evil-ridden desert! What had possessed him to hole up in Texas? continue

The Day of Death - A witch grants an old man three wishes. continue

The Vampire & The Cowboy - He had ridden so far, so long, that Jack's thighs still smelled of smoked leather from the saddle that sat astride his twenty-year old mare, Ladonya. And the horse wasn't happy about the extended ride. She had been blowing through her nostrils at him for the last ten minutes, the last gust a gnat's ass from Jack's ear. continue

The Ethnic Vampire Wars -A thick layer of fog lay captive in the valley below the castle. It was the Ethnic Vampire Wars. continue

Fashion Statement - Vampires - Vincent revolved his dark head slightly, moving his eyes mysteriously over the crowd. They loved him, without a doubt. His popularity was certainly nothing to scoff about. But would they love him still, if they knew that he was a vampire? continue

Pretty In Pick - “Right here – pile it on right cheer,” the hick told Qieu, pointing his half-full fork of spaghetti to his plate. continue

Goat's Pine al la Mode - Goat lived in a valley that was sparsely clothed with pines, red cedars, and sumac that turned a vivid red each autumn. As so was the season, for autumn had settled in for a brief visit that soon would welcome winter. continue

Sweet Tooth, Sweet Fangs - Quinn studied the box of chocolates, finding them irresistible. continue

Vampire Online - Jewel entered the chatroom, settling in for a relaxing night of frivolous chatter. The chats were always entertaining, and a pretty brainless way to chill out for the evening. continue

Oh, My Aching Fang! - “Ouch! Don’t touch it! Get away from me, you old sawbones!”

“Quit being such a baby,” Monique hissed, her beautiful pale face mere inches from Sandar's. “Well, it’s settled, dear. You’re going to need a dentist.” continue

Vampire For Hire - It wasn’t easy, obtaining a decent night job. In the first place, not many businesses were willing to do interviews for the night slots during the late evening hours, after the sun went down. Being a vampire, that was the only time when Jase could face the world – during the dark of night, that is. continue
