It’s 9 o’clock at night. You had decided to take a nap earlier so that you feel refreshed and don’t look like total butt when you go out to a bar later to meet up with the guys. It’s Saturday, afterall. You see the empty cans of soda on the table as you walk into the kitchen. Groggy, you yawn and curse your roommate for being a pig. Not anything unusual, since he always chugs a couple sodas before leaving the house. You head for the fridge and open the door. Huh… did your roommate clean you out of all the food? Bastard! Also kind of odd, though, since he only drinks soda. You close the fridge and notice something else… the front door to the house is ajar. You go to close it. But as you get closer to the door, you slow down… there seems to be a lot of noise coming from the street. You peak out the front door. An older woman runs down the sidewalk with her skirt hiked up to her waist.
Ha! Your burst of laughter is the first reaction. But you then see another person running in the same direction… and then a group of people. What the freak is going on? Maybe a gang shooting or something crazy. You close the door and lock it.
You look out the front window. You had failed to notice that there is also a traffic jam on your normally quiet street. But all of the doors are open and the cars abandoned. OK, now you’re getting nervous. Clearly, something is up and your faithful roommate already split without even waking you. How caring. You turn on the TV.
Breaking news is running on every channel… you stop on a local channel. The news anchor has a shocked look on his face and is studdering. He finally gets out the words… “The scenes we are about to show may be disturbing to some viewers. Actually, all y’all will be disturbed. Here is amateur video taken just an hour ago.” The camera cuts to scenes of a local supermarket. People are laying on the floor. Blood is everywhere. The camera man gasps as one of the victims begins to move. Another man runs over asking if the woman is ok. She suddenly launches at him… her mouth closes over his neck and tears a piece of flesh away. The camera man turns to run and the feed cuts back to the anchor. “Reports similar to this are surfacing all over the city. It’s Vv..vvvampires in the midwest! St. Louis is under siege, as is Chicago, Oklahoma City, Des Moines, and Kansas City. They’re everywhere!” The sound of crashing glass is heard, and the news anchor screams and runs off camera. Suddenly, a spurt of red flies at the camera lens. Gah!!! Was that blood?!?! You nearly fall out of your chair. Crap! Vampires! You look out the window again and turn your head to the sky. Bats everywhere! One swoops down as your face is pressed to the glass and transforms into a pale man. He looks at you through the window and licks his lips before he smiles to reveal glistening fangs. Was that hunger or lust? Who knows!? It’s a vampire! You bolt from the room but are not sure where to run. Your roommate obviously decided it was best to get out of the house. But maybe staying put is the way to go.
What will you do to survive the vampire take-over?
1. Lock the door… shut all the windows… the vampire can’t come in uninvited. Or can he?
2. Get out your old Halloween costume: a satin cape, some plastic fangs, and hair gel. Do yourself up dracula style and try to blend. Make the best out of your Saturday night.
3. Hey, it’s lonely in this town. Open the window, and let him in. Let’s party True Blood-style!
4. Take the axe to your bed. Fashion a crapload of sharp wooden stakes. Grab your roommates hunting crossbow and hit the streets Blade-style… except you don’t have a sword and it’s too dark outside for sunglasses.
If it was a female vampire, I might be tempted to Party…
