“I was driving a taxi. It was late, about to go home, but was hailed by a man in a dark street.
Dark coat, hat pulled low over eyes.
Just said: “North Cemetery”.

Drove him there in silence.
When he got out he told me to wait, “And if you don’t wait, you’ll be sorry.”
Well, didn’t feel very comfortable, but wanted the money, so waited.

After a while he came back, seemed to be wiping something from his hands.
Just said: “South Cemetery”.
Same happened again.
Feeling even more uncomfortable, but waited.

He returned, brushing something from his clothes.
Just said: “East Cemetery”.
Same.

Returned, wiping his mouth.
Just said: “West Cemetery”.

Although very frightened, was determined to get my money – and to see what he was doing.
Followed him into dark cemetery.

He went to fresh grave, used hands to dig down to coffin.
Open lid, bent over corpse.
So terrified I couldn’t move in darkness.
He came out of grave, came up to me.
I managed to stutter, “Are you a vampire?”

“YES!”
