FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS: By Sean Michael Smith

Little Jessica from two houses down was a righteous Catholic girl until a vampire strangled her with her own rosary beads and then changed her. When she tried to knock on my door, I staked her.

Timmy was a good boy too, until a werewolf caught him in the woods after sundown. I shot him down with silver bullets.

Old lady Johnson was the worst. Died of an aneurysm, then crawled out of her own deathbed. I lopped off her head with a machete.

You go out at night if you want to, but me? I’m staying inside with the door bolted tight.

You never know who you’ll meet out there.
