dark side of the moon #11 - part 2
She is lying, of course. She will not fight. She knows I came prepared. The vampire gives a scream so loud that glass bottles shatter, packets drop off shelves and the room shakes. In an instant, she has morphed from a woman into a hideous giant bat-like creature. I reach for my shotgun, she wanted to lunge at me, changes her mind, and instead flies straight up, punches through the thatched roof. I let off a shot as the roof started caving in. Through the hole I could see her silhouette against the grey sky getting smaller. I waited a short while in case she changes her mind and returns, but did not. I had to go too. The military patrols could have been alerted and I do not want to stay around answering awkward questions.

The businessman was on his way home to his villa on the outskirts of Bangkok. He has just attended the launch of his new hotel at Pattaya. He was almost dozing off in the car when his driver braked suddenly. There was something on the road in front of the car. In the bright headlights of the car they could see the outline of a person. A woman. There were no other cars or vehicles at this time of the night. The normal instinct is to start the car and roar off. But the businessman ordered a bodyguard to get out and investigate. The bodyguard went out, his pistol drawn. After a while he came back. "Boss, it's a young woman, and she's alive. What do we do with her?"

The End. Maybe a part 3, let's ask the Muse.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.

Oh, no. She's on the loose!
Hmm...maybe she became a vampire just in reaction to the older men who offered her lifts, help, etc., and then said "But you really shouldn't be out alone, a pretty LITTLE GIRL like you."
I hope there's a Part 3. But if not, that's a great ending; a cliff-hanger in a way, and yet we think we can guess what's to come.
Colleen,
Oh, no! 😀
Priscilla,
😀
Perhaps that's her origin...
Rosemary,
No part 3. Yet.
I would like to go back to writing poetry. Short fantasy stories are fillers to take up the space when poetry dries up. 😀
She is evil, unpredictable, needs to be contained.
From Helen
Yes, I second that. 😀
Thank you, Helen.
Vampire stories.. yay!! Shall wait for part 3!! :))
Thank you, Rajani!
No part 3 planned yet. 😅
Maybe, perhaps on a bored day...
Waiting for part 3
Thank you, vanderloost!
Hmm, looks like I have to start thinking about a part 3. 😁
Eagerly waiting for part 3. I had written something similar for a short story way back in school ,this reminded me of that :)
Jossina, Thank you!
"written something similar for a short story way back in school " : that's awesome!
Eh, about part 3... 😅
I want to know if the military patrols were alerted. We need a part 3.
Thank you, Sara!
I may have to rethink about that part 3. 😁
