The Reformed Vampire Support Group
“That’s always a terrible feeling. It hasn’t happened to me often, thank God, but it’s one of those nasty events more likely to befall a vampire than a normal person (unless, of course, you’re a normal person who’s a drunk or a drug addict). For a second or two I lay in total confusion. My face was covered, and it was very dark.

‘Who – who’s that?’ I quavered.
There was a brief silence.
‘Nina?’ came the muffled response.
‘Dave?’ ‘Shh!’ I could feel him struggling,... and when I tried to raise my arms, I understood why. Something was binding them. I was wrapped up like a mummy.

After a moment’s blind panic, I realised that my bonds were fairly loose. I was able to bend my elbows and slide my hands up until they were level with my shoulders. Then I tugged and clawed at the shroud that enfolded me, working away until I’d dragged it off my eyes.
I found myself staring straight up into Dave’s shadowy face.MoreLess
