FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS: By Sean Michael Smith

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

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.

UGORMETHAULA: By Sean Michael Smith

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Safely hidden in a cave, Ugormethaula squats down on her haunches and pushes her prehensile tail behind her.

She breathes in rhythm with the convulsions in her stomach. Her nether region burns. She fights the urge to howl and pushes…and pushes…until the first blood slick creature slithers out of her womb.

Seven more follow. They all have huge yellow eyes, dark leathery skin and wide, hungry mouths.

They attack as one, gnawing at her many nipples. Ugormethaula cradles them in her leathery tail.

Eventually, they’ll completely drain her with their hunger, but for right now they’re her sweet babies.
