AtoZChallenge 2020 - Vampire Drabbles
Greetings fellow AtoZers and other visitors, I hope we are all well for day 3 of this wonderful blog challenge. My word for the vampire drabbles today is 'cure' and this is what popped into my head. I very much hope you like it.
C is for Cure
Lawrence sat and watched as the horizon began to lighten, gaining a golden tint.
"Lawrie."
He did not turn, even though he could hear the distress in the voice.
"Come inside, please."
"I can't, Issie," he replied. "I've tried everything else, this is the only cure left."
She did not reply. Thinking he had won, he returned to watching the dawn.
"This is suicide."
Now he looked up, because she was right beside him.
"Go inside," he insisted.
"You die, I die," was all she said.
He glanced at the fledgling sun once before dragging her through the open door.
Thank you so much for visiting - drop your comments and links below - I try and visit back everyone I can.
Have you ever just sat and watched the dawn?

Job done, thank you 💖
DeleteSometimes, the cure's not worth it.
ReplyDeleteVery true.
DeleteTrue love. Nice one Tasha.
ReplyDeleteMy A-Z tale!
Thank you - I am a sucker for true love.
DeleteWow!!
ReplyDeleteC is for Colour
What a great drabble... 100 words jam-packed with setting, characterization, conflict, and intensity. Well done
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of writing/reading micro and flash fiction. Feel free to stop by and check out a few of my tiny 'A to Z' stories at anjelacurtis.com.
Thank you very much, micro and flash fiction can be so much fun, can't it. I shall drop by your blog shortly 💖
DeleteThat's love.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteA to Z and yummy recipes too! It's the best of both worlds!
ReplyDeleteHappy A to Z'ing!
I do my best :D Thank you for dropping by.
DeleteIt takes such a talent to pack a complete story into so few words. I used to have an inverted sleep cycle, so I was awake as dawn broke many days.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful time of day. When I was a teenager we used to drive down to the west country on holiday once a year and we always went over night. I remember watching the dawns from the back of the car.
DeleteLive together and die together...till death do us apart! The cure was too costly, I feel. Wish he could find some other cure and continue rather than accept this fate.
ReplyDeleteShe'll keep him going until they find something better.
DeleteI do love a good love drabble - nice one!
ReplyDeleteThank you 💖
DeleteYou jump, I jump. The reworded Titanic line! It keeps coming up in my life lately. Funny I'd see it in blogs, too. Very cool. Good luck with your A to Z.
ReplyDeleteIs this where I have to admit I have never seen Titanic? 😂 Maybe it's making people feel safer to know they are not alone?
DeleteAwwww
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogging :)

DeleteTotally, charming. Kudos to you for writing a new micro-fiction every day, plus the second blog. Enjoy the A to Z Challenge.
ReplyDeleteI love drabbles which is why I chose them for this month because I really enjoy writing them. It's the other blog that is taking the work this time 😉. Thank you for stopping by.
DeleteSounds like he's at a crossroads. Good story.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Let's hope he finds a good path.
DeleteNice to meet some vampires in love.

ReplyDeleteInteresting how some scenes can humanize a supernatural creature. Another fantastic drabble, Tasha!
