A Little Night Music
“It gets dark so early.” The salesgirl locked the music shop door and turned to her last customer.
“I vould like an electricical pipe-organ.” The pale man spoke with a strange accent. “But I have no electricical.”
“No problem.” She anticipated an easy sale. “These keyboards are battery powered.”
At midnight, organ music shook her awake. A red-eyed window in the upper story of the old house at the end of the street winked.
She went into the night to put a stop to the noise, neglecting to wrap her muffler around her neck. Minutes later, she regretted this oversight.
Warning: Shameless Self-Promotion follows.
My first novel, Just Like Gravity, is due to be released at the end of October. It’s a paranormal romance/adventure kind of thing. If you’ve enjoyed any of my Friday fictioneering, please follow this blog for updates.

Poor vampire, struggling with modern times. Nicely written.
Red-eyed window! Great.
Dear Sorchia, OHHHHHH, this is Good! Love it. Creepy Good! Nan 🙂
Oh dear, it’s very very Vlad when dat happens. Great story Sorchia. 🙂 LHN
Aw, bless him, trying to move with the times. He just needs to get some “electricical” hooked up and he’ll be bang up to date!
I don’t think her muffler would have saved her 🙂
Creepy
But is he a neck biting vampire or a midnight organ player (did that come out wrong?). Either way still an intriguing story.
Dear Sorchia
Uh oh. Sounds like a neck biting vampire on the loose. Red-eyed window caught my eye.
Happy birthday and Shalom,
Rochelle
Oh no. She should have known better than that. I love the accent, and the red-eyed window.
