Now Vampires? Part 5

    Brandon sat on the floor for another minute. He said a prayer and then he was up and heading toward the media center. It was test day now, and he'd been reminded about it every day for the last week. It was a monotonous affair, which involved a few hours of watching students take a test that they didn't want to take, and trying to threaten them into silence when they started to talk even when testing was over. State testing was no joke and even though the students seemed to do okay with it, there was still always the possibility that something could go wrong. It had happened before.     Brandon had his materials and his room set up in only a few minutes. He was an old hand at testing now, and it wasn't a huge deal to him, but as mentioned it always left him feeling stressed. The time came and students started filing into the classroom and he signed students into the test, passed out materials and generally got everything ready and situated.      St...

Now Vampires? Part 4

  “You teach 7th grade, correct?” the vampire said. He grinned when he said it, and that grin promised something very nasty the way Brandon saw it. He took a few steps back in the squishy watered logged yard and prayed that he wouldn’t slip.  Think, Brandon commanded himself. Think! But, nothing was coming to mind.

Now Vampires? Part 3

            At two thirty in the morning, Jess woke Brandon up. “Vampires?” Brandon asked instinctively, and his heart started thumping in his chest. “I’m sick,” Jess said. “What’s going on?” Brandon said. Jess got up and rushed to the bathroom and he heard the tell tale sound of vomit hitting the water in the toilet and Jess retching.  “Do you need me to call out of work?” Brandon asked. There was more vomiting. Brandon got up and pulled his laptop out of his bag and began the process for his school to find a replacement for the day. He went back to sleep and didn’t get up until six in the morning. Jess stayed in bed. Brandon hoped she would get better. Rebe was up at 6:30 and sat on Brandon’s lap while she drank chocolate milk. Gwen and Abby got up later. It started to rain, and then it started to storm. The rain violently battered against the house making it seem like they were inside a giant washing machine, or a car wash. Jess s...
