#fridayflash A Damned One (scene from Return) by Nicole Hadaway

I do not know how long it took us to reach the charon, for time in Hell doesn’t pass in the same manner as on earth. My first time I visited, it seemed as if only three days had passed, yet it was indeed over a year that I had stayed in this realm. On the contrary, my sister, when [...]

 

I was born in a world where monsters are real, that in the security of one’s room, evil lurks and there is no escaping it, for they watch and wait for their next kill.   The brightness of the blood that pooled around Eldon’s head in the snow looked like a halo, a devils halo.  I did not mourn, why [...]

Vampire Vacation:  Chapter 3

“Welcome to The V V Inn. I’m Vivian, one of the owners. I’m here to help make your stay an enjoyable one.” Turning my inner thoughts out, I project sensuality through every pore. Between my legs I’m dripping wet, which means I can smell my own arousal in the air. The other vampires can too, and I get hotter thinking [...]

 
Vampire Vacation: Chapter 2

My black spike heels sink into the carpet runner as I move down the hall. I stop in front of room seven and open the door, leaning in to check. Smelling nothing more than clean linens, furniture polish, and the lingering human scent of the maids, I move on. Dria, it’s done. The body is locked up in the small [...]

 
Vampire Vacation: Chapter 1

I open the door to find a body at my feet. The rich smell of blood causes my canines to lengthen. Reaching out in the darkness, I flip on the switches. Light comes on across the room, illuminating the dead guy lying face down in front of me. The whole scene makes me wish I’d stayed in bed today, curled [...]

New Year's Toast by Nicole Hadaway

As he sucked in a breath to start another verse, he heard the flutter of wings behind him, like a bird or maybe a bat, which was odd, as there was nothing to attract birds on this street in London. There were no trees or fences for them to perch on, just the unlit streetlamps, like the one he’d just bumped into, and the warehouses that kept wartime supplies, such as the plethora of gas masks that all London citizens carried, even the babies. When he thought about it, the warehouses were probably perfect places for bats to nest in. Yep, that had to be it.

Neil mused on how he’d never seen a bat before, and he wondered if perhaps they minded flying about in such cold weather. He thought about turning on his lamp; the cowl over the top of it made the light shine downward, so it shouldn’t attract too much attention. Then he remembered that bats might be attracted to light, and he didn’t want the bat to get caught in his hair. He’d heard that bats could be awfully nasty if they flew in your hair – they got caught in it so badly that the only way to get them out was to shave your hair off. He had a bad enough time with women as it was; he didn’t need to be bald as well.
