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)
Louis stood by the window watching his “paramour” as Cookie had called him and their pet play in the backyard. They seemed to have, temporarily at least, given up on the mouse and were now chasing each other. For his tiny legs, Barney was surprisingly fast and agile, even though he was still no match … Continue reading Barney (Chapter 6)
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)
When I look back at my first blog post here, I'm really amused. I really wanted to turn this blog into a place for my creative writing. And it took me 7 years to actually do it! As I said back then, I've always invented stories in my head. They just never "downloaded" onto the … Continue reading 11 February 2025
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)
