Beasts In The Night

A thirsty vampire, just a beast in the night looking for his prey.

Tic Tic Tic

 

He sits in his bed, sheets draw up around his hips and draped along his knees. They are white and nearly match his skin.

 

Tic Tic Tic

 

An infernal noise forever haunting him, fingers reach up to cup his ears, a horrible transformation begins. He screams and his teeth, beautiful and straight, elongate into sharpened canines, his mouth goes dry and he hunches over, shaking.

 

Tic Tic Tic

 

His eyes squeeze shut, he screams again, louder this time. His breathing grows heavy, he opens his eyes and looks up, they're a kaleidescope of green and bright yellow. Thirst darkens his veins, contrasting them sharply against his pale skin. With a cry of outrage, he throws the bedsheets off the bed, tosses his legs over and stands up.

 

Tic Tic Tic

 

He's dressed quickly, all in black, eyes searching the darkened horizon, nose twitching. He opens the window without a sound and takes flight, a beast in the night hunting his prey.

 

And the world is silent.

Author's Note

I know this is incredibly short and all, and isn't necessarily horror, but I can't find a good place for it. I like this though, it's supposed to be just a snippet of something greater, maybe I'll expand. Let me know what you think please ^^

Its a very good narrative. I like it, very good description

[Georgia Gypsy]

I think you could expand this...but it is thought provoking as it is. It left me wanting to know...what kind of beast is he, is the tic-tic-tic his transformation taking place, what is his prey...i have to know...will his prey die or be transformed like him???? So many questions, when you have the answer's let me know..
I do like it as it is though...LOL

This was great. THe ending was wonderful cause it leaves a lot to the imagination. Your description as always was amazing. And I loved the tic tic tic of the clock. that was really original because most people go tic toc but i liked the tic tic better. great job.

i hope you do expand this was very good for how short it was. and what was with the tic tic tic??? other then that great job

[Flo_writer]

At first I was going to suggest expanding it but then as I read the conclusion I think it's good as is. I don't know if a constant ticking would drive me to fling myself through a window but I can see how it might. I liked it as it was.

Very good. =3 A few typos, but nothing serious.
