Gary the Vampire Banker

Every month I have to go to the bank and cash the petty cash check for work.  It's kind of boring and the only thing that has kept it interesting is one of the bankers, who I think is a vampire.  He has black hair, pale skin, bottomless eyes, sharp incisors, and long fingernails.  He usually dances around behind the plexi-glass (installed so he won't bite the customers) and makes his hands into gun shapes when the the money counter makes its "rat-a-tat-tat" sound.  In short, he's entertaining.

So you can imagine my dismay when I found out that the bank had moved, and Gary the Vampire Banker was no where to be seen.  Did the new management stake him?  Did they try to move during the day and he turned to ash?  Does the new bank cramp his style due to the lack of underground catcombs, creaking doors, and abundant vermin?

Then there was Vera's cube, situated next to the row of manager's offices.

"He's sick," Tracy gave her puppy-dog eyes, batting his long dark eyelashes. Vera sighed and fought back a smile. Tracy was such a s...

Poetry and Stuff

Grief:Peripheral The flicker of bluish light filters out what is missing; there is only one set of boots by the door, an apple sits on the counter uneaten, and even if you don’t make a sound, the notch in your heart is nothing personal. ____________________________ Yeah, I know I said no poetry, but I lied. From The Culling, because what girl doesn't dream of  owning a library with a ladder?  I just posted the last chapter of The Bond, which I'm not 100% satisfied with.  It is the end of this novella, but the story continues in the next book of the series.  One of my biggest problems is I don't have a title for the next novella.  The working title was "The Break," which doesn't really work.  If you have an idea or two, throw 'em in the comments.

The things people say

1. "I don't know. I don't know what you do." (In response to me asking, "Why would I have a blowup doll?") 2. "What are you saying? I can mouse with my right hand." (From a lefty after he was accused of moving the mouse to the left side of the computer.) 3. "I (hic) gave this girl my (hic) my phone number (hic) and she (hic) she never called (hic) called me." 4. "You're hurting me!" "I'm stabbing your coat." "With a knife!" "So?" "Knives hurt people!"
