Personal hygiene, Vampire Hunters and Real Friends…and don’t forget the Marx Brothers
Vlad was supposed to come through with a Vampire Diary post today but I couldn’t find him. I’m sure he forgot to charge his phone or got lost somewhere.

Silent Nights – Don’t forgot those who are easily forgotten
I made it out to the farmhouse, just outside of town. The lights were off but I knew they were at home. Sometimes they forget to turn the lights on. Sometimes the heat. The place smells of moth balls, dust and garbage that should… Continue Reading “Silent Nights – Don’t forgot those who are easily forgotten”
