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

Minnie wasn't a ninny. Sure, she was old, but she still had all her wits about her. Therefore, when she had glimpsed her son, Sam giving his wife Yvonne a knowing look, it had triggered a rod of resentment.

"But he is a very nice vampire," Minnie insisted, beyond caring what these two children thought of her, although they were both nearing fifty themselves. To her, they would always be children.

"Mother Minnie, you're sounding senile," Yvonne eased out carefully, coming towards her and steering her to settle on the overstuffed sofa. "Why vampires merely exist in the pages of books-"

"And on movie screens," Sam echoed, coming to sit by his mother on the sofa.

He was a bit on the hefty side and as he situated himself on the sofa, it virtually engulfed his large frame.

Minnie formed a scowl that bled through her map of wrinkles, her tiny mouth nothing more than a small pout. "I insist that I am not senile - and I insist that I have a wonderful and kind vampire living next door. Why, he's always asking what he can do for me to make my life a bit easier - such as changing out the light bulbs, and watering the night lilies. He is a night-person, you know."

Sam bent his elbow and drew a hand to his chin, his face relaxing into a thoughtful expression. "So that's why we never see the bugger, eh? Always in bed at the crack of dawn."

"Mother Minnie, don't you think that it's time that we checked into more comfortable living quarters," Yvonne suggested, drawing up her mother-in-law's wrinkled old hands. "Where you can be with....others of your kind," she tacked on a bit awkwardly.

"We? My kind?" Minnie mocked, easing her hands from Yvonne's tight clutch. "I am perfectly comfortable here. I like it here. And I intend to stay here until the last breath in me is gone!"

Yvonne scanned a look of pity over Minnie's resolute face, then shared another knowing look with Sam.

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

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

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
