Hello and welcome to the Hump Day Hook. Today I will share a
snippet from my manuscript for NaNoWriMo 2012. The novel is called The Vampire
of Blackpool, and I was quite pleased with the result. I have yet to return to
the project for edits, but I certainly plan to have this one published in the
future. Enjoy!
In a flash I was out of my bedroom, leaping
through the open window and landing softly on the grass below. I flew across
the lawn and leaped over the thick hedgerow that bordered my land. Keeping
close to the trees, I stepped nimbly over the muddy ground, my feet barely
touching the floor. The dry leaves below never felt my weight, and my bare feet
did not recognize the cold temperature. I saw the teenagers walking along the
lane, approaching the narrow driveway that led to my house. They had a torch,
and the light wobbled and bounced on the tarmac in front of them. They walked
close together, a boy and a girl, holding hands. I stalked silently behind,
deliberately forcing myself to wait, so that I could savour the moment when I
tasted their sweet flesh and drank deeply of their youthful blood.
