I Don't Believe in VampiresA Story by The Bard's ApprenticeYou know not to say it about faeries ..... but what about bloodsuckers?
The tall dark man in the black long coat had approached the hooker mid-shift near her usual alley. But he had been playing too rough now for several minutes and she was getting tired of it. She pushed him off and told him to go.
“What? You don’t service vampires?”
She tried not to laugh. “I don’t believe in vampires.”
His eyes flashed wide. "Don't SAY that! Every time someone says or even THINKS, 'I don't believe in vampires,' there's a vampire somewhere who falls down convulsing and starving! If it's a psy-vamp, it usually kills them!"
She blinked at him incredulously several times before using all the air in her lungs to shout, "I DON'T BELIEVE IN VAMPIRES!!!"
He stood there less than a moment, staring at her, before his eyes rolled up into his head and he crumpled to the pavement convulsing and gagging.
She gaped for an instant. Then bit her lip and hesitantly leaned toward the writhing figure. "Um....Are...Are you okay?"
Suddenly his fingernails were digging into the soft flesh of her throat and she was praying the vice-grip wouldn’t close over her windpipe. He snorted contemptuously centimeters from her left ear. "You're an idiot," he drawled, sneering.
