Hello and welcome to the Hump Day Hook. Here is an excerpt
from one of my works in progress, currently named The Vampire of Blackpool.
It is next on my list for editing and publishing.
Leaping up into the air, I
struggled to ascend at first. My
balance was unsteady and my body felt like a lead weight. Gritting my teeth, I forced my mind to
focus, and I managed a swift if unstable flight to the hospital. Fortunately it was only a short distance
away, but by the time I alighted behind a brick store shed in the grounds of my
destination, I almost collapsed. I was
starving. I was weak. I managed to walk slowly across the road and
towards the double doors that led into the waiting room for the casualty
department. There were ambulances and
vehicles coming and going, but the pavement was strangely empty of people. All the busy life was contained within the
building.
Staggering through the
automatic doors, I gasped as a wave of sheer exhaustion poured over me. I was descending into bloodlust. I very nearly attacked the first person I
set eyes on, but at the last moment managed to control myself. I was surrounded by beating hearts and
succulent bodies. I needed blood. As I leaned against the wall, my breath
rasping, my eyes wild with hunger and pain, I became aware of voices
approaching as two nurses hurried to my aid.
“Here,” one woman shouted, “Let
us help you.”
