Pass the glowing stalagmites pushing up from the room. Pass the starlight stalactites fanging down from the sky. Fade into the next. Don’t worry. Fade. Loss. Fear not. Hover.

(Vampires are some silly shit, really, to drink the blood of others, feed off a life force, really, the collectors of blood, tampons, band-aids o

Flying corkscrew of owls, puking pinecones, spin over a sarcophagus, no, no, no a black wooden coffin, wake from the crypt like stepping on rake, poof: perpendicular with the floor, arisen o

That is the badass, though, lips at her neck the tip of the tongue to her nape, a flutter from her toes to her pigtails, a gasp, a pink tongue up her chin to measure, perfect, and then back down tracing the line, needle in a groove, erect teeth and a pause, last gasp, and then to feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedo

Mama had a baby and his head popped off.

A cool costume, night creature, necknotcher, spooky if done right, no fake blood or plastic medallions, float across the floor, a long, long cape to wrap the night in, dull the moon, or a disembodied head, just guts for a body wriggling and flailing for blood o

To suck blood, do they take it from their teeth like a straw, no that’s made up, too malt-shop, no, down the gully, pint after pint like a good alcoholic, ahh ahhh all iron and nerve endings twitching down the throat, [don’t let it get caught in the teeth] no disgust, nausea, the satisfaction of smoking o

And don’t they love that freaky-freaky eros shit, all tongues to the bung and swinging wings, ribcage like window blinds, a blistering white double-helix, crotch in cranium, peekaboo, body over body, a twitching two necked beastly thing, a rill of blood trickling from the corner of the mouth, trying to pull each other through each other, unbutton the bones from the brackets and sever the sinew, pass like smoke through air, flutter bony-bat wings like a shiver o

Porn name: Ram Strokero

So cold though, so cold, poor little daysleeper, upandat’em at dusk night after night, stuck in that bitch forever, pining after the sun, drenched by the cold blue shadows from the moon, alcohol wipes, what’d what’shis name, Tetanus? Is tit, hon? Oh no! Onus. Tithon. Stepping on the rake, stepping on the nail. That cold prisoner, shit on at dawn, that cold prisoner, heaven’s hostage, so sad to be suspended, sin some more, break the ice, the night sloughs off the earth, another day burns into rust

release me, restore me to the ground

MIDOR AND SONS PRINTING
SECURITY GUARD REPORT
Franklin Midor
10∕13∕04
1st Round
56° and clear, light breeze.
6:05 p.m.- No sooner, than I suited up and grabbed my radio when Printing needed x-tra hand’s. Helped unload a truck of supplies.
7:40 p.m.- Received a call from Distribution that the vending machine in the basement wasn’t working properly. Thought I could come check it out. Told them I hadn’t a clue.
8:21 p.m.- Received a call from a woman on a VERY scratchy sell phone claiming she left something in the building. Was so scratchy, I was forced to hang up on her.
9:11 p.m.- Received another call from someone wanting to sell me a magazine subscription. I told them “this was a place of business.” How did they get this number!!!
10:10 p.m.- Was flagged down by women (I’m assuming the same one) claiming to have left her purse in her office. (ID# 01361- Marie Shea) Seemed upset I asked her for ID. Awfully grouchy. Must have forgotten to take her happy pills this evening!!!
11:00 p.m.- Changed water cooler tanks in offices per WO # 531101.
12:00 a.m.- Found boiler # 1 was set on automatic. Seems to be running well.
2nd Round
43° cool, full moon.
1:55a.m.- Was startled to see a bat in main office. Approached with caution. Disposed off.
2:45a.m.- Was checking basement and nearly sustained a serious injury as I slipped on some spilt water. Groin feels slightly pulled. Please send morning crew to check it out.
3:35a.m.- Must be a window open or something, found 2 more bats inside!!! They seemed pretty unhappy to be moved. Difficult to catch. Will leave a note for Jr.
4:25a.m.- Was on cigarette break on roof, when I heard what sounded to be a head-on car collision. Saw 4 suspects out front of the building assaulting a “tipsy” pedestrian. Radioed for help. Heard car pull out of our building and slam on breaks. Then saw what looked like one of the paper carriers (Mark Yoori?) hop out of car and tear by, I mean fast, and rain blow after blow on the 4 suspects. Have never seen a man run that fast. Must be the moon. When I arrived on-scene, every one had gone.
5:15a.m.- Groin in SERIOUS pain. Called Jr. and he said it was OK I went home.
Shift ends.
