Waiting for Mother Nature to apply her brush… loved that!

I enjoyed all, but the third was a masterpiece--especially the first paragarph, which could stand on its own.

If I end up writing some horror soon it’s because you have inspired me! All of your work is spectacular!

Thank you. I hope you dip your toe into horror.

“…his frail voice somehow rediscovering its youthful timbre.” never heard it put like that but what a great line.

For me transfusion is the one that stays. The vein pulsing while the doctor explains… that’s the whole horror in a single image.

I like it when people do something different with vampires. These were a breath of fresh air, especially the third drabble.

All the drabbles this month might well end up being different takes on popular monsters and lore.

Ooh, I would love that.

Horror in the beginning, urgency in the middle, beauty at the end. Superb little collection here!

These are great! I especially love the irony of the first one. I guess not only humans walk into a diner for dinner. 😆

You're like those guys who get mattresses ready to ship -

You stuff a lot into a small space

But it is unlikely to give one a good night's sleep. Well done.
