Come nightfall, I’ll slip into one of those three chairs.
At first, people will think I’m a pretend vampire, outdoors enjoying Halloween. Then some youth dressed as a ghost will say, ‘Hey, cool outfit.’
And his lithe girlfriend, kitted out like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, will compliment me further. ‘Spooky makeup and classy fangs.’
These hot-blooded revellers will fit the two empty coffins back at my crypt to perfection.
‘Would you care to join me?’
In life, I was a gambler; so too, am I in death. The street light. The window. Will they notice too late that I’ve no reflection?

Yes, Amy, he did seem quite a determined vampire from the moment I dreamt him up. I’d no idea where he was heading in his thinking until he revealed it to me!

Dear Sarah,
Very rarely do I read a vampire story that I like. This is indeed an exception. Nicely done.

Dear Rochelle
This is the first complete vampire story I’ve ever written, so I’m really glad you liked it.
In a lengthier comedy fantasy story of mine, I did mention a vampire on passing. On that occasion, he was a misfit who went out in the sunlight and kept waylaying passers-by, asking them to bite him!
All the best
Sarah
