Thanks, Andrea. To be honest I had never heard of Vrykolakas until I googled vampire related V words… then I had to make each line the polar opposite of what it had been. So be it!

Thanks GW… just sometimes I wonder if you might had had a bump on the head…. Usually when you’ve made me laugh for some inexplicable reason ;-)
