Damn You, Hollyvood!
Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by David Stewart.
“’Ere, is that a light over by the spooky underground entrance?”
“Maybe. Best take a look.”
They sauntered over. Overhead, thunder rumbled (ominously). One cautiously opened the door and flicked the light switch. The stairway (predictably) remained dark. Overhead, thunder rumbled (even more ominously).
“Should we look?”
“Are you kidding? In a film we’d be ‘Security Guards 1 and 2’. We wouldn’t even last to the opening credits!”
They left. Voices came from downstairs.
“Damn Hollyvood mooveess! Ve vill not be drinking bloot zis night, children.”
“Aw, Pappa, you promised…”
“Ve vill try ze goth nightclub. Ve vill fit right in!”
“Yay!”

Should those children be out this late at night? Do we need to call Social Services?

The oldest kid did try playing outside during daylight, but it didn’t work out so well for him 😮

They’ll be disappointed (and hungry) when they discover ever other vampire had the same idea and there’s no actual humans there 🙂

Dear Ali,
Ah vampires. No doubt they’ll blend right in at the Goth nightclub. That is until the patrons feel the suck. 😉
Shalom,

Right. If it’s going to happen, they deserve more sex and violence as well as better billing. 🙂

I really like where you took this, Ali. The vampires in “What We Do in the Shadows” came to mind. If Hollywood movies provide no other service, their work is done.
