"Adventures in Reality: Vampires on my Street"
|
||
|
||
fiction by Alexander of Atlantis
|
||
|
||
=============================================================================
|
||
|
||
I sat on the sidewalk, talking to Kathy. She's a nice gal, very well
|
||
built, but I really hang out with her because we talk a lot. I suppose
|
||
that sounds rather bland, considering all the guys that would die to be with
|
||
her, but I really don't have a need to ruin a perfectly good friendship so
|
||
as I can try and get some skin. What a pathetic pig I am.
|
||
Kathy and I sat talking, and from the left side, where our street curves
|
||
around, came a large van. From it strode my best friends, Dennis, Meegan, and
|
||
some other people behind him. I stood up to say hi, and Dennis was the first
|
||
to greet me. I looked into his eyes, and the pupils were extremely small.
|
||
"Hi Alex," he said, smiling. Two things struck me then. First was that
|
||
his voice sort of echoed omenously, and the second was the two big fangs
|
||
growing on his front incisors. Obviously, he had become a vampire, and all
|
||
the other vampires behind him were walking around, biting other people,
|
||
instantly turning them into vampires and making them part of their hoarde.
|
||
This was the funny part. This is what made me realize this was reality.
|
||
First off, Meegan was talking to Kathy about how they were going to have a
|
||
sacrifice tonight, and they came by to get my Rapier. See, I have this
|
||
Rapier hanging on the wall of my room, which has some weird inscriptions on
|
||
it. I was told by my great uncle who gave it to me, that it was a very
|
||
special rapier. Thats it, believe it or not. Thats all I remember him
|
||
telling me.
|
||
The other funny thing was Dennis came up to me and asked if I wanted to
|
||
join them, and I said "No thanks." I mean, from what I heard, the Vampire
|
||
effect only lasted till the sacrifice, which was tonight. This all struck
|
||
me as weird, because the vampires were all very polite and sensible about the
|
||
whole matter.
|
||
I walked up to Meegan, who was sitting at the corner of the street, for
|
||
some (obvious) reason, I kept looking over my shoulder, just in case. Her
|
||
eyes were also small, her voice funny. I sighed, and sat down next to Kathy
|
||
on the street.
|
||
A board with small black and white squares and beans on it sat next to
|
||
Kathy. I got nervous, and asked her "Are you one, too??" and she said no,
|
||
but, looking into her eyes, I could have sworn she was. I said "Yes you are,
|
||
don't lie to me!"--I was feeling bad because somewhere in the back of my
|
||
mind, I knew Dennis and the others had invaded my home and taken my Rapier.
|
||
I felt a pinge of loss, but knew if I went after them into the maze they
|
||
were going to hold the sacrafice in, I never would have gotten out alive. I
|
||
was, even though they were polite, scared beyond believe of the potential
|
||
they had for hurting me. I did not want to be a vampire.
|
||
I took a look at Kathy again. She wasn't effected. I told her so, and
|
||
that I was sorry that I doubted her. We played with the beans, on the ground
|
||
of the street, and waited for them to leave. I saw Dennis hop into the
|
||
van with my rapier, and Meegan waved to us as the van pulled away, victims and
|
||
all.
|
||
Kathy gave me a look like "We have to do something about this," --I mean,
|
||
how could we let them sacrafice someone? And with MY rapier? I did manage
|
||
to make Dennis PROMISE he would bring my Rapier back after the sacrafice, but
|
||
I realized now I could never have it in my home again with someones blood
|
||
on it that was taken as a sacrafice. Then it all hit me. This was reality,
|
||
there was no way in hell I was going to go brave the depths of their
|
||
demensnes...I mean, me against them? I'd be slaughtered.
|
||
Kathy looked at me. This was amazing, even for reality. I looked at
|
||
her, and shrugged. I was a coward...and that's reality.
