A Taste For Blood

She lay in bed and heard a sudden sound, And then a wicked face appeared; The vampire peered into her darkened room; Her heart was thumping as he leered. Too scared to move, she cried and prayed for help, And heard his scratching fingernails; The fiendish creature meant to climb inside, And wasn’t worried by her wails. The window opened and she grabbed her cross, But dropped it as she trembled so; The grinning vampire leapt on to the bed; The virgin had no place to go. He took a bite and sighed, ‘She’s blood group O; The A group is much tastier you know.’ For Russell’s Everything Halloween contest, 30th August

What a fiendish end. But an inspiration for something else.
