I see a little bit of Seventh Seal in your story, Troll. It's good, but I've always looked at vampires as something of a cartoon character (watched too many Count Chocula commercials as a kid, I guess). I would have had him make a deal with the devil. Then again, I have a fixation with devils for some reason. I like the humor in your story. I can't figure out how the vampire is able to read minds though. It doesn't take away from the story. Actually it's something that makes the reader wonder which could be a good or a bad thing.
Anyhow, it's a good read as usual. It's a very good short story. Have you thought about writing an anthology of short stories? |

Prong by OccultHawk
Frank told Fred that he had a three pronged action plan. Fred calmly asked Frank what the other two prongs were for after he removed the first one from his scrotum. Frank went to HR and complained that Fred was asking uncomfortable personal questions. Fred was promptly summoned to HR where three women greeted him. After Fred explained the circumstances they asked to see his scrotum. Fred lowered his drawers and the HR women laughed and laughed before asking Fred to wait outside while they figured this out. They had Frank summoned in the meantime. Fred ended up getting a demotion because he never returned the first prong. Fred still wondered what the other two prongs were for. Years later he discovered Frank was really a one trick pony and never even used the other two prongs.

Just finished the first draft of my first novel. Took about three months. Roughly 125,000 words. I went into it expecting it to be a short story, maybe 5,000 words tops.
Welp, I guess now it's time to edit that shit into coherence. *cracks knuckles*

Just finished reading it all back to myself, fixing all of the inconsistencies.
I definitely never ever ever want to write another novel. Just short stories from now on. It takes a certain kind of insanity to sit down for months and focus all of your attention on telling a long form story. The only reason I saw this through is because by the time I realized that the story wasn't gonna let me finish it in just a few sittings, it was too late to turn back.
