‘Oh Vladimir, can you smell that tantalising aroma ?’
‘Yes Yuri, I can smell rosy cheeks, sunlit meadows, so fresh so carefree’
‘Nearly sundown Vlad, I’m so hungry. Is it a boy or a girl in the cow byre ?’
‘No matter Yuri, we have tracked them down to this place’.
‘There’s another scent, aromatic, potent… oh no..it’s odious garlic, a great rope of garlic blocks the door’.
‘Even the Count can’t trespass over a line of garlic. This place is no good at all.’
‘Another hungry night. Who’d be a vampire ?’

yes, indeed; who would want to be a vampire as the menu is limited. I suspect they enjoy playing with their food first.

I appreciate your comment James, bet they do play with their food !

When I saw the garlic prompt – I thought a) vampire and b) doorknocker. I avoided writing vampire. But why did I see doorknocker? It is clearly against a wall. Great story!

Thanks Trish, glad you liked the story.

Gotta feel sorry for the poor things. All excited for their meal, denied 🙂

Thanks for your comment Ali. It’s a hard life for a vampire…
September 25, 2020 at 1:07 am
I almost feel sorry for the poor vampires. Almost.

You’re welcome.

Now you’ve made me hungry!
September 27, 2020 at 4:11 pm
Love your comment Penny ! Was it the garlic ?
September 24, 2020 at 2:05 am
Rats! Who knew (except for a vampire) that garlic could ruin an evening?
September 27, 2020 at 4:16 pm
Great comment Alicia – thank you.

Warded off by garlic, can’t cross running water, stuck on your native earth, can’t cross a threshold without being invited… Who’d be a vampire indeed. Fun story.
September 27, 2020 at 4:26 pm
Glad you enjoyed the story.
September 23, 2020 at 10:39 pm
Poor vampires, they have to eat too, right?

Vampires are getting some spotlight this week, and I love the dry humor that comes with it. This is a most entertaining glimpse of the vamp life 🙂
September 27, 2020 at 4:35 pm
Thanks Linda, glad you found the story entertaining. It was the garlic that set me off !
September 27, 2020 at 7:03 pm
Yes, me too.
September 23, 2020 at 6:59 pm
He he – can’t say I feel sorry for them. Loved this take on the photo prompt/vampire theme.

Thanks for comment Keith.
September 23, 2020 at 12:55 pm
So close they can taste it. It will drive them mad!
September 23, 2020 at 12:31 pm
Hooray for garlic!
September 27, 2020 at 6:14 pm
Thanks Iain, sure you’re right !
September 27, 2020 at 6:15 pm
Yes, the wonders of garlic .
September 23, 2020 at 11:36 am
Dear Francine,
You almost make me care for the vampires. 😉 Almost. Dare I say your story doesn’t suck? At least your vampires don’t. Okay, I’m leaving now. Fun dialogue.
Shalom,
Rochelle
