Dearest gentle reader, My niece Soso says, “This is how you speak to your readers if you really got sauce.” I remind her she is too young to be watching smut. She reminds me she is almost as old as I was when I started hustling. I don’t even know how she knows about that. … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Epilogue)
Today is my 23rd birthday. It’s almost surreal to say it. It’s no exaggeration when I say I had a few times in the past where I didn’t think I would make it to this advanced age. Guess it just makes me bad at dying. I decide to celebrate my birthday by going to a … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 9)
The night I met the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac changed my life. I didn’t see it at first, but it did. In the months after the concert, life doesn’t change much at first. Winter comes and goes. I still live at Josie’s, play with my niece and do the odd job in the … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 8)
A week later I take Mari out to Rosalie’s diner. I can actually only afford coffee and free refills, but Rosalie pushes a piece of cake between us for us to share. On the house, she says. She smiles and winks at me. I suspect she thinks we’re on a date. We’re not. I still … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 7)
I go straight to my room and into the bathroom. I take my clothes off and throw them into a corner. I wish I could burn them. I can't stand the sight of Josie's torn and dirty jacket. There are blood stains on it. Is it mine - or theirs? I shower and try to … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 6)
It’s fall, the air is a bit chilly and I’m pretty happy about my new jacket. Josie got it for me last week when I visited her and Soso. I spend more time with Josie and Soso now. I still need my freedom, so I never stay long, but Soso keeps asking for “Unkie Lell”, … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 5)
I always say that the night I met the vampire changed my life forever, and I can you hear going, "Shit, Wendell. Your life went from bad to ‘Lawd have mercy, somebody light a candle." And I couldn't blame you. It did. And I met him again. The vampire returned. I don't know if he … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 4)
I keep my promise to my sister. I stay in contact. I call every other week from the diner, and I visit from time to time. Sometimes I only stay for a meal, sometimes a night, sometimes a few days. I was overdue for another visit when I met the vampire. I didn't think it … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 3)
Remy was my boyfriend. Well, I guess he was. We actually never put a label on it. Probably were too young for that. Not too young for the rest, though. Growing up, I mostly kept to myself. Sometimes I hung out with the kids in the neighbourhood when Josie forced me to go outside. They … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 2)
Note: This is a spin-off to Barney. The main protagonist is Wendell, the young hustler Louis encounters at the end of Chapter 3 (but you should read at least Chapter 4 before reading this one). This is his backstory and his version of the night he met the vampire. Adult-themed without any sugar coating.(Image is … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 1)
