The

figure

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

vampire,

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

we

know it, proceeds of course from Dracula, by Bram Stoker. And Dracula, by

Bram

Speaker:

Stoker,

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

an

intensely

personal text,

full

Speaker:

of

the

erotic

Speaker:

sublimated

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

the

horrific, which is

Speaker:

perhaps

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

only

Speaker:

way

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

author

Speaker:

could

Speaker:

have,

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

day,

Speaker:

expressed

Speaker:

any

Speaker:

form of queer

Speaker:

attraction.

Speaker:

But

Mr.

Stoker’s

estate

“Intense Research” by Scribbles Monhagen, Part 1 of 2

“I have

or on:

a

or on:

medium

or on:

blueberry

or on:

mocha

or on:

for…”

or on:

The

or on:

gray-furred

or on:

fox/husky

or on:

mix

or on:

squinted

or on:

at

or on:

the

or on:

name

or on:

on

or on:

the

or on:

coffee

or on:

cup. “Nigel?”
The

or on:

call

or on:

fell

or on:

on

or on:

deaf

or on:

ears

or on:

as

or on:

Nigel

or on:

stared

or on:

at

or on:

the

or on:

floor

or on:

in

or on:

front

or on:

of

or on:

him.

or on:

What

or on:

had

or on:

he

or on:

gotten

or on:

himself

or on:

into?

or on:

Sure,

or on:

it

or on:

was

or on:

all

or on:

for

or on:

a

or on:

good

or on:

grade

or on:

and

or on:

getting

or on:

closer

or on:

to

or on:

his

or on:

degree.

or on:

But

or on:

was

or on:

it

or on:

worth

or on:

it?
“Nigel?

or on:

Blueberry

or on:

mocha?”
He’d

or on:

heard

or on:

stories

or on:

of

or on:

monsters

or on:

roaming

or on:

through

or on:

society.

or on:

He’d

or on:

even

or on:

met

or on:

a

few:

few:

Werewolves,

few:

zombies,

few:

shapeshifters,

few:

demons,

few:

sirens... He

few:

even

few:

had

few:

a

few:

few

few:

saved

few:

as

few:

contacts

few:

in

few:

his

few:

phone.

few:

It

few:

was

few:

one

few:

of

few:

the

few:

reasons

few:

he’d

few:

been

few:

so

few:

psyched

few:

for

few:

his

few:

latest

few:

journalism

few:

assignment.
He

few:

was

few:

supposed

few:

to

few:

interview

few:

a

few:

monster

few:

of

few:

the

few:

professor’s

few:

choosing,

few:

and

few:

write

few:

up

few:

a

few:

summary

few:

of

few:

the

few:

discussion

few:

as

few:

if

few:

it

few:

was

few:

for

few:

publication.
“Again!

few:

Medium

few:

blueberry

few:

mocha

few:

for

few:

Nigel!”
Nigel

few:

looked

few:

up.
The

few:

gray-furred

few:

fosky’s

few:

eyes

few:

scanned

few:

the

few:

shop,

few:

their

few:

brows furrowed

few:

in

few:

mild

few:

frustration.
Nigel

few:

pushed

few:

his

few:

glasses

few:

up

few:

his

few:

nose

few:

and

few:

stepped

few:

forward. “Sorry!

few:

That’s

few:

me!”

few:

His

few:

voice

few:

was

few:

soft,

few:

tinged

few:

with

few:

embarrassment.
The

few:

fosky’s

few:

eyes

few:

flicked

few:

to

few:

him.
Nigel

few:

immediately

few:

felt

few:

self-conscious

few:

about

few:

his

few:

appearance,

few:

a

few:

feeling

few:

that

few:

wasn’t

few:

unfamiliar

few:

with.

few:

He

few:

was

few:

a

few:

short

few:

Russian

few:

Blue

few:

cat,

few:

dressed

few:

in

few:

a

few:

white

few:

collared

few:

shirt,

few:

black

few:

slacks,

few:

and

few:

rainbow

few:

suspenders.
The

few:

canine

few:

flashed him

few:

a

few:

big

few:

friendly

few:

smile. “Ah!

few:

There

few:

you

few:

are.”
Fuck.

few:

Yep, that

few:

was

few:

the

few:

reaction

few:

he

few:

was

few:

expecting.
The

few:

barista

few:

slid

few:

his

few:

coffee

few:

towards

few:

him. “Here

few:

you

few:

go!

few:

Enjoy!”
Nigel

few:

picked

few:

up

few:

the

few:

cup,

few:

and

few:

flashed

few:

the

few:

barista

few:

an

few:

awkward

few:

smile

few:

that

few:

didn’t

few:

reach

few:

his

few:

eyes.“Thanks

few:

Leo.”
He

few:

was

few:

really

few:

off

few:

his

few:

game

few:

today.

few:

Of

few:

all

few:

the

few:

monsters

few:

his

few:

professor

few:

could’ve

few:

assigned

few:

him,

few:

why

few:

the

few:

fuck

few:

did

few:

he

few:

have

few:

to

few:

pick

few:

vampire.
The

few:

warm

few:

cup

few:

in

few:

his

few:

paws

few:

offered

few:

little

few:

comfort

few:

as

few:

he

few:

went

few:

to

few:

find

few:

a

few:

seat.

few:

He

few:

found

few:

a

few:

table

few:

in

few:

the

few:

corner

few:

of

few:

the

few:

campus

few:

cafe,

few:

under

few:

a

few:

flickering

few:

light.

few:

It

few:

was

few:

probably

few:

going

few:

to

few:

give

few:

his

few:

upcoming

few:

interview

few:

a

few:

fitting

few:

ambiance.
All

few:

he

few:

knew

few:

about

few:

this

few:

guy

few:

was

few:

his username.

few:

UltimateChad42.

few:

Nigel

few:

could only

few:

wonder

few:

what

few:

this

few:

guy’s

few:

real

few:

name

few:

was.
He

few:

took

few:

the

few:

backpack

few:

off

few:

his

few:

back

few:

and

few:

placed

few:

it

few:

next

few:

to

few:

his

few:

chair.
He

few:

knew

few:

very

few:

little

few:

about

few:

vampires,

few:

aside

few:

from

few:

what

few:

he’d

few:

seen

few:

of

few:

them

few:

in

few:

the

few:

media.

few:

And

few:

a

few:

good

few:

interviewer

few:

doesn’t

few:

buy

few:

into

few:

stereotypes.

few:

At

few:

least,

few:

Nigel

few:

thought

few:

that

few:

was

few:

what

few:

a

few:

good

few:

interviewer

few:

did.
But

few:

stereotypes

few:

were

few:

all

few:

he

few:

had

few:

to

few:

work

few:

with.
He

few:

leaned

few:

over

few:

to

few:

open his

few:

bag

few:

and

few:

pulled

few:

out

few:

a

few:

spiral

few:

notebook.

few:

He’d

few:

labeled

few:

each

few:

page

few:

with

few:

a

few:

potential

few:

question

few:

he

few:

could

few:

ask this

few:

vampire.
Do

few:

you

few:

really

few:

drink

few:

blood?
Have

few:

you

few:

ever

few:

killed

few:

anyone?
Is

few:

it

few:

hard

few:

having

few:

to

few:

stay

few:

away

few:

from

few:

garlic?
Nigel

few:

flipped

few:

through

few:

the

few:

various

few:

pages

few:

of

few:

his

few:

notebook,

few:

looking

few:

at

few:

the

few:

questions

few:

he’d

few:

written

few:

again.

few:

He

few:

already

few:

felt

few:

weird

few:

enough

few:

reaching

few:

out

few:

to

few:

a

few:

complete

few:

stranger,

few:

especially

few:

a

few:

vampire;

few:

he

few:

could

few:

only

few:

imagine

few:

how

few:

much

few:

weirder

few:

it

few:

would

few:

get

few:

when

few:

the

few:

vampire

few:

was

few:

sitting

few:

across

few:

from

few:

him

few:

enduring

few:

all

few:

of

few:

his

few:

silly

few:

questions.

His

few:

mind

few:

began

few:

to

few:

wander

few:

a

few:

bit.

few:

He

few:

was

few:

so

few:

nervous

few:

about

few:

how

few:

everything

few:

was

few:

going

few:

to

few:

go.

few:

Was

few:

he

few:

in

few:

danger?

few:

Were

few:

vampires

few:

really

few:

just

few:

like

few:

they

few:

were

few:

in

few:

the

few:

movies?
He

few:

lifted

few:

his

few:

gaze

few:

to

few:

the

few:

empty seat

few:

across

few:

from

few:

him.

few:

It

few:

was

few:

now

few:

occupied

few:

by

few:

a

few:

handsome

few:

wolf

few:

with

few:

dark

few:

fur.

few:

His

few:

fangs

few:

were

few:

visible

few:

as

few:

he

few:

smiled

few:

hungrily

few:

at

few:

the

few:

feline. “Forget

few:

these

few:

silly

few:

questions.”
He

few:

stood

few:

up,

few:

towering

few:

over

few:

Nigel.
A

few:

chill

few:

ran

few:

down

few:

his

few:

spine.
“I

few:

can

few:

show

few:

you

few:

what

few:

it

few:

means

few:

to

few:

be

few:

a

few:

vampire.”

few:

His

few:

eyes

few:

were

few:

wide

few:

with

few:

sadistic

few:

glee.
Nigel

few:

shook

few:

his

few:

head

few:

hard

few:

and

few:

he

few:

squeezed

few:

his

few:

eyes

few:

shut. “No!”
“No

few:

what?”

few:

A

few:

smooth,

few:

sultry

few:

voice

few:

made

few:

his

few:

ears

few:

perk up.

few:

Nigel’s

few:

eyes

few:

opened,

few:

and

few:

suddenly

few:

a

few:

vixen,

few:

dressed

few:

in

few:

an

few:

almost

few:

see-through

few:

red

few:

dress,

few:

was

few:

leaning

few:

forward

few:

in

few:

the

few:

seat

few:

across

few:

from

few:

him. “There’s

few:

nothing

few:

to

few:

be

few:

scared

few:

of

few:

here,

few:

kitten.”

few:

Her

few:

muzzle

few:

parted

few:

as

few:

she

few:

licked

few:

her

few:

lips.

few:

Her

few:

fangs

few:

peeked

few:

out

few:

from

few:

between

few:

her

few:

enticing

few:

smile.
Nigel’s

few:

cheeks

few:

felt

few:

hot

few:

as

few:

he

few:

pressed

few:

his

few:

legs

few:

together

few:

to

few:

keep

few:

his

few:

body

few:

from

few:

betraying

few:

him. “What’s

few:

going

few:

on?”
She

few:

reached

few:

out

few:

a

few:

paw

few:

and

few:

held

few:

his

few:

chin,

few:

keeping

few:

his

few:

gaze

few:

on

few:

her. “You’re

few:

just

few:

curious.

few:

But

few:

I

few:

can

few:

help

few:

you

few:

with

few:

that.”
Nigel

few:

nervously

few:

swallowed

few:

and

few:

tried

few:

to

few:

tear

few:

his

few:

gaze

few:

away, “I-I

few:

don’t

few:

think

few:

this

few:

is

few:

how

few:

it’s

few:

supposed

few:

to

few:

go.”

few:

As

few:

he

few:

moved

few:

his

few:

head,

few:

the

few:

vixen’s

few:

paw

few:

was

few:

gone.
“Maybe it’ll be

few:

more

few:

like

few:

this.”
He

few:

turned

few:

his

few:

gaze

few:

back

few:

to

few:

the

few:

chair

few:

across

few:

from

few:

him

few:

and

few:

saw

few:

a

few:

white

few:

furred

few:

belly

few:

peek

few:

out

few:

from

few:

under

few:

a

few:

pink

few:

crop

few:

top.

few:

He

few:

was

few:

also

few:

wearing

few:

a

few:

pair

few:

of

few:

tight

few:

short-shorts.

few:

As

few:

he

few:

looked

few:

up

few:

the

few:

canine’s

few:

body,

few:

he

few:

noticed

few:

that

few:

his

few:

blue

few:

fur

few:

seemed

few:

to

few:

shimmer

few:

under

few:

the

few:

flickering

few:

light.

few:

His

few:

arms

few:

were

few:

up

few:

and

few:

his

few:

hands

few:

were

few:

folded

few:

behind

few:

his

few:

head

few:

in

few:

what

few:

Nigel

few:

assumed

few:

was

few:

supposed

few:

to

few:

be

few:

a

few:

sexy

few:

pose.

few:

Which

few:

it

few:

kind

few:

of

few:

was…

few:

but

few:

there

few:

was

few:

a

few:

lot

few:

of

few:

sparkling

few:

coming

few:

off

few:

the

few:

blue

few:

canine’s

few:

flesh.
“Don’t

few:

worry,

few:

I

few:

won’t hurt you.” The folfsky purred as he gazed

few:

down

few:

at

few:

Nigel. “I’m

few:

a

few:

vegetarian.

few:

The

few:

only

few:

meat

few:

I’m

few:

after

few:

is

few:

the

few:

one

few:

between

few:

your

few:

legs.”
Nigel

few:

curled

few:

his

few:

paws

few:

into

few:

fists

few:

and

few:

squeezed

few:

his

few:

eyes

few:

shut.

few:

He

few:

needed

few:

to

few:

focus.

few:

This “Chad”

few:

could

few:

be

few:

here

few:

at

few:

any

few:

moment.

few:

And

few:

he

few:

was

few:

fantasizing

few:

about

few:

some

few:

of

few:

the

few:

ways

few:

this

few:

interview

few:

could

few:

go

few:

wrong…

few:

if

few:

he

few:

could

few:

even

few:

call

few:

it

few:

fantasizing.
He

few:

slammed

few:

one

few:

of

few:

his

few:

paws

few:

on

few:

the

few:

table

few:

and

few:

looked

few:

across

few:

from

few:

him.

few:

The

few:

seat

few:

was

few:

empty,

few:

of

few:

course.

few:

Nigel’d

few:

always

few:

had

few:

a

few:

bit

few:

of

few:

an

few:

overactive

few:

imagination.

few:

He’d

few:

be

few:

fine.

few:

At least he

few:

hoped he’d

few:

be

few:

fine.
He

few:

picked

few:

up

few:

his

few:

blueberry

few:

coffee

few:

and

few:

took

few:

a

few:

sip,

few:

trying

few:

to

few:

relax

few:

his

few:

nerves.

few:

He

few:

was

few:

in

few:

a

few:

public

few:

place.

few:

His

few:

phone

few:

was

few:

in

few:

his

few:

pocket,

few:

and

few:

he

few:

had

few:

shared

few:

his

few:

location

few:

with

few:

at

few:

least

few:

three

few:

friends.

few:

He

few:

was

few:

going

few:

to

few:

be

few:

okay.
The

few:

door

few:

to

few:

the

few:

coffee

few:

shop

few:

opened,

few:

drawing

few:

Nigel’s

few:

attention.

few:

A

few:

tall

few:

hooded

few:

figure

few:

walked

few:

through

few:

the

few:

door.

few:

Most

few:

of

few:

their

few:

definable

few:

features

few:

were

few:

hidden.

few:

All

few:

Nigel

few:

could

few:

see

few:

was

few:

that

few:

they

few:

were

few:

wearing

few:

baggy

few:

gray

few:

sweatpants

few:

and

few:

a

few:

gray

few:

hoodie.
Nigel

few:

watched

few:

them

few:

walk

few:

up

few:

to

few:

the

few:

counter

few:

and

few:

talk

few:

to

few:

Leo,

few:

who

few:

was

few:

behind

few:

the

few:

bar.
Nigel

few:

looked

few:

away

few:

and

few:

back

few:

to

few:

his

few:

notebook

few:

so

few:

it

few:

wouldn’t

few:

seem

few:

like

few:

he

few:

was

few:

staring.

few:

Could

few:

this

few:

be “Chad?”

few:

He

few:

had

few:

nothing

few:

to

few:

identify

few:

the

few:

vampire

few:

with

few:

besides

few:

some

few:

stereotypes.
The

few:

hoodie

few:

seemed

few:

like

few:

a

few:

pretty

few:

good

few:

indicator.

few:

It

few:

was

few:

still

few:

a

few:

bit

few:

sunny

few:

outside

few:

despite

few:

it

few:

being

few:

around

few:

four

few:

in

few:

the

few:

afternoon.

few:

Maybe

few:

he

few:

could

few:

mark

few:

the

few:

sensitivity

few:

to

few:

sunlight

few:

as

few:

a

few:

real

few:

vampire

few:

trait.

few:

He

few:

turned

few:

to

few:

the

few:

page

few:

in

few:

his

few:

spiral

few:

that

few:

was

few:

labeled

few:

Notes

few:

and

few:

fished

few:

a

few:

pencil

few:

out

few:

of

few:

his

few:

bag.
As

few:

he

few:

was

few:

about

few:

to

few:

start

few:

writing,

few:

the

few:

flickering

few:

light

few:

was

few:

slowly

few:

blocked

few:

out

few:

by

few:

a

few:

looming

few:

shadow.
Nigel’s

few:

pencil

few:

stopped

few:

moving

few:

and

few:

his

few:

gaze

few:

slowly

few:

moved

few:

to

few:

the

few:

source

few:

of

few:

the

few:

shadow.
The

few:

hooded

few:

figure

few:

stood

few:

next

few:

to

few:

his

few:

table,

few:

the

few:

inside

few:

of

few:

their

few:

hood

few:

shrouded

few:

in

few:

even

few:

more

few:

shadow.

few:

Nigel

few:

squinted

few:

as

few:

he

few:

stared

few:

up

few:

into

few:

the

few:

hood.

few:

He

few:

could

few:

make

few:

out

few:

the

few:

lines

few:

of

few:

a

few:

muzzle,

few:

possibly

few:

canine?
The

few:

figure

few:

removed

few:

big,

few:

gloved

few:

paws

few:

from

few:

their

few:

pocket

few:

and

few:

lifted

few:

them

few:

to

few:

the

few:

hood.
Nigel

few:

watched

few:

as

few:

the

few:

hood

few:

was

few:

pulled

few:

down

few:

to

few:

reveal

few:

the

few:

chestnut

few:

brown

few:

fur

few:

of

few:

a

few:

German

few:

Shepherd

few:

head.
“Tsup!”

few:

The

few:

canine

few:

smiled

few:

down

few:

at

few:

him.
Nigel

few:

blinked, “Hi…”

few:

He

few:

tilted

few:

his

few:

head. “Um…

few:

Are

few:

you—”
“The

few:

Ultimate

few:

Chad?”

few:

He

few:

chuckled

few:

and

few:

lifted

few:

up

few:

the

few:

back

few:

of

few:

his

few:

hoodie

few:

so

few:

his

few:

tail

few:

could

few:

be

few:

free

few:

again. “Yeah.

few:

And

few:

I am

few:

assuming

few:

you’re

few:

the

few:

lucky

few:

journalism

few:

student?”
“Nigel.”

few:

He

few:

stood

few:

to

few:

his

few:

feet

few:

and

few:

offered

few:

his

few:

paw

few:

for

few:

a

few:

handshake.
Chad

few:

looked

few:

Nigel

few:

up

few:

and

few:

down, “Look

few:

at

few:

you.

few:

You’re

few:

fun-sized,

few:

aren’t

few:

you!”

few:

His

few:

tail

few:

wagged.

few:

He

few:

took

few:

Nigel’s

few:

paw,

few:

closed it

few:

into

few:

a

few:

fist,

few:

then

few:

offered

few:

his

few:

own. “Pound

few:

it,

few:

lil

few:

man!”
Nigel

few:

awkwardly

few:

looked

few:

at

few:

his

few:

fist,

few:

then

few:

pushed

few:

it

few:

against

few:

the

few:

canine’s. “Okay?”
Chad

few:

grinned,

few:

making

few:

his

few:

fist

few:

explode

few:

with

few:

sound

few:

effects. “Noice!”
Nigel

few:

chuckled

few:

nervously, “You’ve

few:

got

few:

some

few:

interesting

few:

energy.”

few:

He

few:

sat

few:

back

few:

down.
“What

few:

can

few:

I

few:

say

few:

man,”

few:

Chad

few:

pulled

few:

out

few:

the

few:

chair

few:

across

few:

from

few:

Nigel

few:

and

few:

plopped

few:

down

few:

into

few:

it. “Never

few:

been

few:

interviewed

few:

before.

few:

I am

few:

kinda psyched!”

few:

He

few:

slouched

few:

in

few:

the

few:

chair. “So,

few:

like,

few:

how

few:

are

few:

we

few:

doing

few:

this?”
Nigel

few:

shifted

few:

in

few:

his

few:

seat

few:

and

few:

flipped

few:

to

few:

the

few:

first

few:

page

few:

of

few:

his

few:

spiral

few:

notebook. “Well,

few:

this

few:

interview

few:

is

few:

for

few:

my

few:

journalism

few:

class,

few:

and—”
“Aw, sick!”

few:

Chad

few:

sat

few:

up

few:

a

few:

little

few:

straighter. “You

few:

working

few:

to

few:

be

few:

the

few:

next

few:

Lois

few:

Lane?”

few:

His

few:

ears

few:

dropped

few:

and

few:

he

few:

tilted

few:

his

few:

head

few:

in

few:

confusion,

few:

then

few:

his

few:

shoulders

few:

tensed

few:

up. “Aw

few:

shit.

few:

Wait,

few:

I

few:

never

few:

asked

few:

for

few:

your

few:

pronouns.

few:

Sorry,

few:

lil

few:

dude.”
“Oh.

few:

Um,

few:

it’s

few:

cool.

few:

I

few:

go

few:

by

few:

he/him.”
“Same,

few:

man.”

few:

He

few:

relaxed. “Sorry.

few:

I

few:

just

few:

like

few:

to

few:

affirm

few:

who

few:

folks

few:

are

few:

and

few:

help ‘em

few:

feel

few:

super

few:

comfortable

few:

around

few:

me.”
“How

few:

kind

few:

of

few:

you.”

few:

Nigel

few:

bit

few:

his

few:

lip.

few:

This

few:

guy

few:

was

few:

kind

few:

of

few:

a

few:

silly

few:

oaf.

few:

Real

few:

frat

few:

boy

few:

energy.

few:

He

few:

really

few:

hoped

few:

that

few:

this

few:

guy

few:

would

few:

be

few:

able

few:

to

few:

take

few:

this

few:

seriously.

few:

He

few:

needed

few:

to

few:

get

few:

a

few:

good

few:

grade

few:

on

few:

this

few:

assignment.
He

few:

looked

few:

across

few:

the

few:

table,

few:

meeting

few:

the

few:

inquisitive

few:

gaze

few:

of

few:

the

few:

German

few:

Shepherd

few:

across

few:

from

few:

him.

few:

His

few:

unwavering

few:

eye contact

few:

startled

few:

Nigel. “Wh-What?

few:

Do

few:

I

few:

have

few:

something

few:

on

few:

my

few:

face?”
Chad

few:

shook

few:

his

few:

head. “Oh,

few:

naw.

few:

You just

few:

never

few:

finished

few:

what

few:

you

few:

were

few:

saying

few:

before.

few:

About

few:

your

few:

paper.”
Huh.

few:

Chad

few:

was

few:

bringing

few:

him

few:

back

few:

on

few:

track.

few:

Maybe

few:

this

few:

interview

few:

was

few:

going

few:

to

few:

go

few:

well

few:

after

few:

all. “Oh!

few:

Yeah!”

few:

Nigel

few:

smiled

few:

at

few:

Chad,

few:

then

few:

took

few:

another

few:

sip

few:

of

few:

his

few:

drink. “So…

few:

I am

few:

just

few:

going

few:

to

few:

ask

few:

you

few:

a

few:

few

few:

questions

few:

about…

few:

being

few:

a

few:

vampire

few:

and all that.”
“Oh,

few:

shit.”

few:

Chad

few:

sat

few:

up,

few:

the

few:

corners

few:

of

few:

his

few:

muzzle

few:

quirked

few:

down

few:

into

few:

a

few:

frown. “I’m

few:

not

few:

a

few:

vampire

few:

though.”
Nigel’s

few:

eyes

few:

widened

few:

and

few:

he

few:

could

few:

feel

few:

his

few:

heart

few:

drop

few:

into

few:

his

few:

stomach. “What?”

few:

He

few:

spoke

few:

with

few:

a

few:

soft

few:

growl

few:

lacing

few:

his

few:

words. “What

few:

do

few:

you

few:

mean

few:

you’re

few:

not?”
Chad’s

few:

muzzle

few:

broke

few:

into

few:

a

few:

smile. “I’m

few:

just

few:

fucking

few:

with you!

few:

Gosh,

few:

loosen

few:

up

few:

a

few:

little.”

few:

He

few:

smirked

few:

at

few:

Nigel. “You’re

few:

way

few:

too

few:

tense. Just relax,

few:

and

few:

let’s have

few:

some

few:

fun

few:

with

few:

this. ‘Kay?”     Nigel

few:

let

few:

out

few:

a

few:

sigh

few:

of

few:

relief.

few:

If

few:

this

few:

guy

few:

could

few:

sense

few:

his

few:

tension,

few:

maybe

few:

he

few:

needed

few:

to

few:

let

few:

some

few:

of

few:

it

few:

go. “I’m

few:

sorry.

few:

I’m

few:

just

few:

nervous.

few:

This

few:

class

few:

is

few:

part

few:

of

few:

my

few:

degree

few:

and

few:

I

few:

just…

few:

need

few:

to

few:

do

few:

as

few:

perfect

few:

of

few:

a

few:

job

few:

as

few:

I

few:

can.”
“Are

few:

you

few:

tryin’

few:

to

few:

impress

few:

me?”

few:

Chad

few:

rested

few:

his

few:

arms

few:

on

few:

the

few:

table. “Because

few:

you’re

few:

already

few:

doing

few:

a

few:

pretty

few:

good

few:

job

few:

at

few:

that.

few:

You

few:

look

few:

real

few:

professional.”
Nigel

few:

looked

few:

away. “I-I am

few:

just

few:

dressing

few:

the

few:

part.”

few:

He

few:

couldn’t help

few:

but

few:

smile.

few:

That

few:

was

few:

really

few:

sweet

few:

of

few:

him. “But

few:

if

few:

we

few:

could

few:

go

few:

ahead

few:

and

few:

start?”
“Yeah,

few:

of

few:

course.”

few:

Chad

few:

rested

few:

his

few:

chin on

few:

his

few:

paw.
“Let’s

few:

start

few:

with

few:

an

few:

easy

few:

one.”

few:

Nigel

few:

clicked

few:

his

few:

pencil

few:

and

few:

smiled

few:

at

few:

Chad. “Why

few:

don’t

few:

you

few:

tell

few:

me

few:

about

few:

yourself.”
“So,

few:

my

few:

name

few:

is

few:

Chad

few:

St.

few:

Claire.

few:

I

few:

was born in 1989—”
“1989?” Nigel gasped, looking

few:

him

few:

up

few:

and

few:

down. “You’re

few:

in

few:

your

few:

thirties?”
“I

few:

know!”

few:

Chad

few:

flashed

few:

him

few:

a

few:

grin,

few:

then

few:

moved

few:

to

few:

take

few:

off

few:

his

few:

hoodie. “I

few:

mean,

few:

look

few:

at

few:

me.”

few:

He

few:

draped

few:

his

few:

hoodie

few:

over

few:

the

few:

chair

few:

and

few:

playfully

few:

flexed.

few:

He

few:

was

few:

wearing

few:

a

few:

gray

few:

tank

few:

top

few:

underneath,

few:

so

few:

Nigel

few:

could

few:

see

few:

his

few:

big

few:

brown-furred

few:

arms. “I

few:

still

few:

look

few:

like

few:

I

few:

did

few:

back

few:

in

few:

senior

few:

year!”
Nigel

few:

stared

few:

at

few:

his

few:

muscles, “Whoa!”
Chad

few:

winked

few:

at

few:

him. “Yeah.

few:

Bet

few:

you

few:

didn’t

few:

think

few:

you’d

few:

get

few:

to

few:

see

few:

a

few:

gun

few:

show today,

few:

didja?”
Nigel’s

few:

shoulders

few:

shook

few:

as

few:

he

few:

tried

few:

to

few:

contain

few:

his

few:

laughter. “Stop!

few:

Oh

few:

my

few:

gosh,

few:

you’re

few:

so

few:

vain!”
Chad

few:

rolled

few:

his

few:

shoulders

few:

with

few:

a

few:

grunt

few:

and

few:

put

few:

his

few:

arms

few:

back

few:

on

few:

the

few:

table. “Yeah.

few:

Sorry.

few:

I’m

few:

just

few:

really

few:

proud

few:

of

few:

my

few:

arms.

few:

But

few:

most

few:

of

few:

the

few:

reason

few:

I

few:

look

few:

so

few:

young

few:

is

few:

because

few:

that’s

few:

when

few:

I

few:

was

few:

turned.”
Nigel

few:

let

few:

out

few:

a

few:

sigh

few:

as

few:

he

few:

finally

few:

got

few:

his

few:

giggles

few:

under

few:

control. “Okay.”

few:

He

few:

made

few:

notes

few:

on

few:

the

few:

first

few:

page as

few:

Chad

few:

talked.
“How

few:

old

few:

are

few:

you,

few:

Nigel?”
Nigel

few:

looked

few:

up

few:

at

few:

Chad

few:

and

few:

pursed

few:

his

few:

lips. “I

few:

turned

few:

twenty

few:

just

few:

a

few:

few

few:

weeks

few:

ago.”
“Oh

few:

cool!”

few:

Chad

few:

smiled.
“Yeah,

few:

I

few:

guess

few:

it

few:

is.”

few:

He

few:

cleared

few:

his

few:

throat

few:

and

few:

tried

few:

to

few:

redirect

few:

their

few:

conversation. “So,

few:

you

few:

were

few:

bitten

few:

in

few:

your

few:

senior

few:

year?”
“Oh!

few:

No.

few:

I

few:

wasn’t

few:

bitten.”

few:

Chad

few:

leaned

few:

forward

few:

to

few:

watch

few:

him

few:

scribble

few:

his

few:

notes

few:

down.
“How

few:

were

few:

you

few:

turned

few:

then?”

few:

Nigel

few:

looked

few:

up,

few:

and

few:

Chad

few:

leaned

few:

back

few:

in

few:

his

few:

chair,

few:

pretending

few:

that

few:

he

few:

wasn’t

few:

watching.
“Well,

few:

I

few:

was

few:

turned

few:

because

few:

I

few:

consumed

few:

my

few:

ex-girlfriend’s

few:

blood.”
Nigel

few:

noted

few:

that,

few:

for

few:

a

few:

split

few:

second,

few:

the

few:

canine

few:

looked

few:

a

few:

bit

few:

angry.
“So,

few:

you

few:

can

few:

turn

few:

from

few:

drinking a

few:

vampire’s

few:

blood?”
“Or

few:

being

few:

made

few:

to

few:

drink

few:

it…

few:

But

few:

yeah.”
Nigel

few:

wrote

few:

this

few:

information

few:

down,

few:

being

few:

as

few:

detailed

few:

as

few:

he

few:

could

few:

in

few:

his

few:

shorthand. “Interesting.

few:

So

few:

how

few:

long

few:

had

few:

it

few:

been

few:

then?

few:

Since

few:

you

few:

were turned,

few:

I

few:

mean.”
Chad

few:

leaned

few:

forward

few:

in

few:

his

few:

seat

few:

again. “Well,

few:

I

few:

was

few:

twenty-three.

few:

So

few:

I’d

few:

say

few:

a

few:

good

few:

eleven

few:

or

few:

twelve

few:

years?”
As

few:

Nigel

few:

looked

few:

up

few:

again,

few:

Chad

few:

leaned

few:

back.

few:

Nigel

few:

thought

few:

it

few:

was

few:

funny

few:

that

few:

the

few:

vampire

few:

was

few:

so

few:

intrigued

few:

with

few:

his

few:

writing.
A

few:

toothy

few:

grin

few:

lit

few:

up

few:

Chad’s

few:

face. “Heh.

few:

Sorry,

few:

you

few:

just

few:

have

few:

really

few:

nice

few:

handwriting.”
Nigel’s smile

few:

grew. “Thank

few:

you!”

few:

He

few:

looked

few:

back

few:

down

few:

at

few:

his

few:

paper. “You’re

few:

really

few:

nice.”
“I

few:

try

few:

to

few:

be.

few:

It’s

few:

a

few:

bit

few:

hard

few:

to

few:

make a

few:

good

few:

impression

few:

on

few:

people

few:

when

few:

they

few:

think

few:

you’re

few:

after

few:

their

few:

blood.”

few:

He

few:

looked

few:

over

few:

at

few:

the

few:

counter

few:

and

few:

jumped. “Oh

few:

shoot!

few:

My

few:

drink!”

few:

He

few:

almost

few:

fell

few:

as

few:

he

few:

tried

few:

to

few:

get

few:

out

few:

of

few:

his

few:

chair

few:

to

few:

go

few:

get

few:

his

few:

coffee.
Nigel

few:

took

few:

another

few:

sip

few:

of

few:

his

few:

coffee.

few:

He

few:

was

few:

starting

few:

to

few:

have

few:

fun

few:

with

few:

this

few:

interview.

few:

It

few:

was

few:

the

few:

opposite

few:

of

few:

everything

few:

he’d

few:

imagined

few:

it

few:

could

few:

be,

few:

and

few:

Chad

few:

didn’t

few:

seem

few:

to

few:

be

few:

a

few:

cut-and-dry

few:

vampire

few:

stereotype.
“Sorry!” Chad

few:

apologized

few:

as

few:

he

few:

sat

few:

back

few:

down

few:

in

few:

his

few:

seat,

few:

holding

few:

an

few:

iced

few:

coffee

few:

in

few:

his

few:

paws. “I

few:

forgot

few:

I

few:

ordered

few:

this.”
Nigel

few:

smiled. “Did

few:

you

few:

have

few:

a

few:

nice

few:

trip?”
Chad’s

few:

eyes

few:

got

few:

wide

few:

and

few:

his

few:

tail

few:

started

few:

to

few:

wag

few:

faster. “Well,

few:

look

few:

who

few:

just

few:

made

few:

a

few:

funny!”

few:

He

few:

rested

few:

his

few:

chin on

few:

his

few:

arms

few:

again. “But

few:

no, I

few:

definitely

few:

almost

few:

broke

few:

the

few:

chair.”

few:

He

few:

snorted.
“What

few:

kind of

few:

coffee

few:

did

few:

you

few:

get?”
“Oh.

few:

I

few:

got

few:

myself

few:

a

few:

little—”

few:

He

few:

lifted

few:

his

few:

head,

few:

took

few:

a

few:

sip

few:

of

few:

his

few:

coffee,

few:

then

few:

exaggerated

few:

a

few:

sigh. “—

few:

Iced

few:

Caramel

few:

Macchiato.”

few:

He

few:

flashed

few:

Nigel

few:

a

few:

grin. “What

few:

do

few:

you

few:

have?”
“Blueberry

few:

Mocha.”
Chad

few:

made

few:

a

few:

face, “Really?

few:

Does

few:

that

few:

taste

few:

good?”
“Does

few:

blood

few:

taste

few:

good?”

few:

Nigel

few:

countered,

few:

though

few:

he

few:

was

few:

more

few:

than

few:

ready

few:

to

few:

write

few:

Chad’s

few:

answer

few:

down.
“Touché,

few:

kitty

few:

cat.”

few:

Chad

few:

grinned. “But

few:

it

few:

tastes

few:

fine

few:

depending

few:

on

few:

the

few:

person.”
As

few:

Nigel

few:

looked

few:

down,

few:

he

few:

noticed

few:

Chad’s

few:

eyes

few:

looking

few:

him

few:

over

few:

and

few:

it

few:

made

few:

him

few:

shiver.

few:

He

few:

shook

few:

the

few:

weird

few:

feeling

few:

off

few:

and

few:

wrote

few:

down

few:

the

few:

information. “And

few:

I

few:

like

few:

the

few:

mixed

few:

taste

few:

of

few:

blueberry,

few:

chocolate,

few:

and

few:

coffee.”
“Seems

few:

a

few:

bit

few:

like

few:

an

few:

acquired

few:

taste,

few:

I

few:

guess.”
“Right

few:

back

few:

at

few:

you.”

few:

Nigel

few:

looked

few:

back

few:

up

few:

at

few:

Chad.
“You,

few:

uh…”

few:

Chad’s

few:

toothy grin

few:

had a

few:

bit

few:

of

few:

a

few:

nervous

few:

edge

few:

to

few:

it. “You’re

few:

pretty

few:

quick with

few:

that

few:

tongue,

few:

dude.”
“I

few:

suppose

few:

I

few:

am.”

few:

Nigel

few:

stared

few:

back

few:

at

few:

Chad,

few:

until

few:

the

few:

latter

few:

looked

few:

down

few:

at

few:

his

few:

coffee.
“Maybe

few:

we

few:

should…

few:

continue.”

few:

Chad

few:

took

few:

a

few:

deep

few:

breath

few:

and

few:

looked

few:

back

few:

up. “Sorry

few:

about

few:

that.

few:

I

few:

just…

few:

um.”
Nigel

few:

raised

few:

an

few:

eyebrow.

few:

Was

few:

he

few:

making

few:

Chad

few:

uncomfortable?

few:

Or

few:

was

few:

it

few:

something

few:

else? “Oh,

few:

right.

few:

No,

few:

you’re

few:

fine.”

few:

He

few:

flipped

few:

to

few:

the

few:

next

few:

question

few:

in

few:

his

few:

book. “What

few:

do

few:

you

few:

think of

few:

the

few:

media’s

few:

depiction

few:

of

few:

vampires?”
Chad

few:

hummed, “Do

few:

you

few:

mean

few:

like

few:

classic

few:

movies?

few:

Or

few:

more

few:

modern

few:

stuff?”
“I’d

few:

love

few:

to

few:

know

few:

your

few:

opinions

few:

on

few:

both.”
“I

few:

mean,

few:

both

few:

are

few:

pretty

few:

imaginative.

few:

However,

few:

I

few:

think

few:

I

few:

like

few:

modern

few:

vampire

few:

movies

few:

better.

few:

They’re

few:

funny,

few:

have

few:

interesting

few:

concepts,

few:

and

few:

don’t

few:

always

few:

have

few:

the

few:

vampire as a

few:

villain.”
“Mhm…”

few:

He

few:

wrote

few:

down

few:

his

few:

notes

few:

and

few:

flipped

few:

the

few:

page. “And

few:

are

few:

you

few:

mostly

few:

nocturnal?”
“Eh…”

few:

Chad

few:

shrugged. “My

few:

sleep

few:

schedule

few:

still

few:

hasn’t

few:

really

few:

fixed

few:

itself

few:

from

few:

when

few:

I

few:

was

few:

in

few:

college.

few:

Sleep

few:

happens

few:

when

few:

I

few:

want

few:

it

few:

to.

few:

Though,

few:

I

few:

do

few:

sometimes

few:

get

few:

more

few:

stuff

few:

done

few:

at

few:

night,

few:

like

few:

my

few:

workouts

few:

or my nightly

few:

runs

few:

through

few:

the

few:

park.”
Nigel

few:

scribbled

few:

down

few:

more

few:

notes,

few:

flipping

few:

the

few:

page

few:

again.

few:

This

few:

was

few:

more

few:

the

few:

type

few:

of

few:

interview

few:

he

few:

was

few:

expecting…

few:

It

few:

was…

few:

kind

few:

of

few:

boring. “And

few:

what

few:

happens

few:

when

few:

you

few:

step

few:

out

few:

into the

few:

sunlight?”
Chad

few:

cringed. “Painful

few:

and

few:

gnarly

few:

burns,

few:

dude.

few:

But

few:

luckily,

few:

I

few:

have

few:

my

few:

foolproof

few:

stuff

few:

every

few:

bit

few:

of

few:

myself

few:

under

few:

thick

few:

clothing

few:

plan

few:

that

few:

works.

few:

It’s a

few:

good

few:

thing

few:

light

few:

kills

few:

me,

few:

and

few:

heat

few:

doesn’t.

few:

Heat

few:

just

few:

makes

few:

me

few:

sweaty.”

few:

Chad

few:

grinned

few:

and

few:

flexed, “It’s

few:

great

few:

for

few:

my

few:

gains

few:

and

few:

means

few:

I

few:

get

few:

to

few:

drink

few:

more

few:

water.”
Nigel

few:

watched

few:

Chad

few:

flex and sighed. “Yeah,

few:

that

few:

is

few:

good.”

few:

The

few:

more

few:

the

few:

cat

few:

looked

few:

at

few:

him,

few:

the

few:

more

few:

Nigel’s

few:

mind

few:

started

few:

to

few:

picture

few:

the

few:

vampire

few:

in

few:

his

few:

head.

few:

All

few:

sweaty,

few:

leaning

few:

down

few:

over

few:

him

few:

with

few:

that

few:

smile,

few:

using

few:

his

few:

paw

few:

to

few:

lift

few:

his

few:

chin

few:

and

few:

lean

few:

down

few:

towards

few:

his

few:

neck…     “Dude.

few:

Nigel.”
Nigel

few:

jumped, “Yes!

few:

Sorry.

few:

Um…”

few:

He

few:

looked

few:

at

few:

the

few:

pencil

few:

in

few:

his

few:

paw. “Just

few:

got

few:

distracted.”
Chad

few:

lowered

few:

his

few:

arms

few:

and

few:

tilted

few:

his

few:

head. “You

few:

alright?”
Nigel

few:

nodded, “Mhmmm…”

few:

He

few:

squirmed

few:

a

few:

little

few:

in

few:

his

few:

seat. “Um…

few:

So

few:

where

few:

were

few:

we?”

few:

He

few:

flipped

few:

to

few:

the

few:

next

few:

page.
“So,”

few:

his

few:

eyes

few:

widened

few:

and

few:

his

few:

voice

few:

got

few:

a

few:

little

few:

hoarse

few:

as

few:

he

few:

read

few:

his

few:

next

few:

question. “H-How

few:

do

few:

you

few:

usually

few:

go

few:

about,

few:

like…”
Chad’s

few:

expression

few:

went

few:

from

few:

a

few:

worried

few:

one,

few:

to

few:

a

few:

more

few:

neutral

few:

one

few:

as

few:

he

few:

leaned

few:

forward

few:

to

few:

look

few:

at

few:

the

few:

question

few:

in

few:

Nigel’s

few:

notebook. “Oooooh!

few:

Bro,

few:

you

few:

want to

few:

know

few:

how

few:

I

few:

feed?”

few:

He

few:

looked

few:

toward

few:

the

few:

counter

few:

and

few:

reached

few:

up

few:

to

few:

scratch

few:

the

few:

back

few:

of

few:

his

few:

head. “Well,

few:

it’s

few:

a

few:

bit

few:

complicated.”
“Complicated

few:

how?”

few:

Nigel

few:

put

few:

his

few:

pencil

few:

down. “Like…

few:

do

few:

you

few:

kill

few:

the

few:

people

few:

you

few:

feast

few:

on?”
“No!

few:

I

few:

would

few:

never!”

few:

Chad

few:

winces. “I

few:

hate

few:

that

few:

word,

few:

feast.

few:

The

few:

way

few:

I

few:

usually

few:

do

few:

it

few:

works

few:

as

few:

a

few:

mutual

few:

exchange.

few:

I

few:

get

few:

their

few:

blood,

few:

and

few:

they…”

few:

His

few:

voice

few:

trailed

few:

off,

few:

and

few:

he

few:

started

few:

anxiously

few:

looking

few:

around

few:

the

few:

shop.
Nigel

few:

tilted

few:

his head, “They what?”
Chad sighed, turning to look

few:

at

few:

Nigel. “You

few:

know,

few:

maybe

few:

this

few:

wasn’t

few:

a

few:

good

few:

idea.

few:

It’s

few:

a

few:

whole

few:

can

few:

of

few:

worms,

few:

and

few:

you

few:

seem

few:

like

few:

such

few:

a

few:

sweet

few:

kitten—”
“If

few:

you

few:

don’t

few:

kill

few:

them,

few:

what

few:

do

few:

you

few:

do?”

few:

Nigel’s

few:

voice

few:

was

few:

firm

few:

as

few:

his

few:

curiosity

few:

started

few:

to

few:

get

few:

the

few:

better

few:

of

few:

him.

few:

Damn

few:

his

few:

feline

few:

nature.
Chad

few:

bit

few:

his

few:

lip,

few:

then

few:

gestured

few:

for

few:

him

few:

to

few:

come

few:

closer.
Nigel

few:

stood

few:

up

few:

from

few:

his

few:

chair

few:

and

few:

leaned

few:

over

few:

the

few:

table.

few:

He

few:

could

few:

feel

few:

Chad’s

few:

hot

few:

breath

few:

against

few:

his

few:

ear

few:

and

few:

cheek.

few:

His

few:

breath

few:

smelled

few:

like

few:

coffee…

few:

It

few:

was

few:

nice.

few:

Well,

few:

mostly

few:

nice.

few:

The

few:

dog’s

few:

hot

few:

breath

few:

also

few:

made

few:

his

few:

glasses

few:

fog

few:

up

few:

a

few:

little.
“So…

few:

I

few:

try

few:

to

few:

make

few:

things

few:

as

few:

pleasurable

few:

as

few:

possible

few:

when

few:

I

few:

feed.”

few:

He

few:

felt

few:

the

few:

shep’s

few:

fur

few:

rub

few:

against

few:

his

few:

cheek. “Very

few:

intimate.”
Nigel

few:

watched

few:

as

few:

Chad

few:

moved

few:

away

few:

and

few:

leaned

few:

back

few:

in

few:

his

few:

chair,

few:

and

few:

he

few:

slowly

few:

sat

few:

back in his chair. “Huh.”

few:

He took

few:

his

few:

glasses

few:

off

few:

and

few:

cleaned

few:

them

few:

with

few:

his

few:

shirt

few:

before

few:

putting

few:

them

few:

back

few:

on. “So

few:

you

few:

fuck them?”
Chad

few:

nodded, “Yep.

few:

Or

few:

vice-versa.”

few:

His eyes

few:

shifted

few:

around

few:

again

few:

as

few:

he

few:

tried

few:

to

few:

keep

few:

his

few:

voice

few:

low. “I

few:

ain’t picky.”
“And

few:

you

few:

just

few:

do

few:

this

few:

to

few:

anyone?”

few:

He

few:

took

few:

another

few:

sip

few:

of

few:

his

few:

coffee,

few:

trying

few:

to

few:

think

few:

of

few:

anything

few:

besides

few:

the

few:

images

few:

forming

few:

in

few:

his

few:

mind.
“Not

few:

anyone.

few:

Like,

few:

there’s

few:

consent

few:

and

few:

communication

few:

beforehand…”

few:

He

few:

frowned. “When

few:

I

few:

got

few:

turned,

few:

it

few:

fucking

few:

hurt

few:

and

few:

there

few:

was

few:

no

few:

warning.

few:

I

few:

don’t

few:

want

few:

to

few:

put

few:

anyone

few:

through

few:

that.”
“And

few:

people

few:

go

few:

for

few:

that?”

few:

Nigel

few:

had

few:

completely

few:

forgotten

few:

about

few:

the

few:

interview,

few:

his

few:

tail

few:

swishing

few:

behind

few:

him.
“Yeah.

few:

I have

few:

fed on friends, dates, my partner in yoga, and

few:

even one

few:

of

few:

the

few:

professors

few:

at

few:

your

few:

college.”

few:

He

few:

put

few:

his

few:

head

few:

down. “I am

few:

sorry,

few:

I

few:

shouldn’t

few:

be

few:

sharing

few:

all of

few:

this

few:

with

few:

you.”
His

few:

eyes

few:

flicked

few:

up

few:

to

few:

Nigel. “I

few:

mean,

few:

you’re

few:

not

few:

even

few:

writing

few:

any

few:

of

few:

this

few:

down.”
Nigel

few:

blinked

few:

and

few:

looked

few:

down

few:

at

few:

his

few:

pencil. “Huh…

few:

Yeah.”
Chad’s

few:

ears

few:

drooped

few:

and

few:

his

few:

eyes

few:

narrowed. “Shouldn’t

few:

you

few:

be

few:

writing

few:

this all

few:

down?”
Nigel

few:

didn’t

few:

move

few:

for

few:

his

few:

pencil. “Can

few:

I

few:

ask

few:

more

few:

about

few:

how

few:

you

few:

do

few:

it

few:

all?”
Chad’s

few:

eyes

few:

flicked

few:

as

few:

he

few:

searched

few:

Nigel’s

few:

eyes. “I

few:

mean…

few:

I

few:

could

few:

show

few:

you.

few:

But

few:

that’s

few:

like

few:

a

few:

huge

few:

step.

few:

Especially

few:

since

few:

I

few:

just

few:

met

few:

you.”
“Oh.”

few:

Nigel

few:

sucked

few:

in

few:

a

few:

breath

few:

of

few:

air.

few:

He

few:

felt

few:

foolish.

few:

He

few:

needed

few:

to

few:

curb

few:

his

few:

curiosity.

few:

Chad

few:

was

few:

growing

few:

uncomfortable.
“You’re

few:

right.

few:

I am

few:

so

few:

sorry.”

few:

He

few:

picked

few:

up

few:

his

few:

pencil

few:

again. “I

few:

just

few:

got

few:

curious.”

few:

He

few:

wrote

few:

some

few:

notes

few:

in

few:

his

few:

notebook,

few:

keeping

few:

the

few:

personal

few:

details

few:

Chad

few:

shared

few:

out.
“Curiosity

few:

usually

few:

kills

few:

the

few:

cat.”

few:

Chad

few:

chuckled

few:

softly. “You

few:

probably

few:

hear

few:

that

few:

a

few:

lot.”
“It’s

few:

a

few:

very

few:

common

few:

phrase.”

few:

Nigel

few:

swallowed,

few:

trying

few:

to

few:

put

few:

himself

few:

back

few:

in

few:

the

few:

mindset

few:

of

few:

work.
“I

few:

think

few:

it

few:

could

few:

be

few:

a

few:

good

few:

idea

few:

though…”
Nigel

few:

looked

few:

up

few:

at

few:

Chad. “What

few:

could

few:

be

few:

a

few:

good

few:

idea?”
“Showing

few:

you

few:

how

few:

I feed.”

few:

Chad

few:

gave

few:

him

few:

a

few:

small

few:

smile,

few:

then

few:

coughed to clear his

few:

throat. “For

few:

your

few:

interview,

few:

I

few:

mean…”
Nigel

few:

felt

few:

his

few:

heart

few:

beating

few:

in

few:

his

few:

chest. “Oh?”
“Yeah.

few:

Like,

few:

if

few:

it’s

few:

okay

few:

with

few:

you

few:

and

few:

all.

few:

I’d

few:

be

few:

psyched

few:

to

few:

show

few:

you.”

few:

Chad’s

few:

tail

few:

started

few:

wagging

few:

behind

few:

him.
“Oh!”

few:

Nigel

few:

felt

few:

his

few:

cheeks

few:

heat

few:

up

few:

and

few:

he

few:

closed

few:

his

few:

notebook. “Y-Yeah!

few:

Of

few:

course.

few:

For the

few:

research.”
Chad

few:

chuckled. “For

few:

the

few:

research.

few:

Totally

few:

for

few:

no

few:

other

few:

reason,

few:

right?”

few:

His

few:

chest

few:

puffed

few:

up. “It’s

few:

fine.

few:

I

few:

know

few:

I am

few:

sexy.”
“Yeah

few:

you

few:

are…”

few:

Nigel

few:

clapped

few:

his

few:

paws

few:

over

few:

his

few:

muzzle.

few:

Did

few:

he

few:

intend

few:

to

few:

say

few:

that

few:

out

few:

loud?

few:

Maybe

few:

a

few:

little

few:

bit.

few:

It

few:

wasn’t

few:

as

few:

if

few:

Chad

few:

was

few:

offended,

few:

right?
“Yeah,”

few:

Chad

few:

stood

few:

and

few:

walked

few:

over

few:

to

few:

Nigel’s side

few:

of

few:

the

few:

table,

few:

stopping

few:

next

few:

to

few:

his

few:

chair. “That

few:

was

few:

out

few:

loud,

few:

kitten.”

few:

He

few:

reached

few:

down,

few:

putting

few:

a

few:

paw

few:

on

few:

top

few:

of

few:

his

few:

head

few:

to

few:

scratch

few:

behind

few:

his

few:

ears.
It

few:

made

few:

Nigel

few:

squirm

few:

in

few:

his

few:

seat

few:

and

few:

shiver. “Mm…”

few:

The

few:

good

few:

spot.
Chad

few:

grinned,

few:

then

few:

turned

few:

to

few:

grab

few:

his

few:

hoodie. “You

few:

want

few:

to

few:

go

few:

now?”
Nigel

few:

nodded,

few:

and packed

few:

up

few:

his

few:

bookbag. “So

few:

do

few:

we

few:

just

few:

go

few:

straight

few:

to

few:

your

few:

place?”
“Not

few:

exactly.”

Nigel

few:

picked

few:

at

few:

the

few:

salad

few:

in

few:

his

few:

lap

few:

with

few:

a

few:

fork. “So,

few:

healthy

few:

food

few:

is

few:

better

few:

for

few:

this

few:

kind

few:

of

few:

thing?”

few:

They’d

few:

ordered

few:

salads

few:

from

few:

a

few:

grocer

few:

down

few:

the

few:

street,

few:

and

few:

were

few:

now

few:

sitting

few:

in

few:

Chad’s

few:

truck.

few:

Nigel

few:

thought

few:

it

few:

was

few:

a

few:

bit

few:

weird,

few:

but

few:

he

few:

didn’t

few:

complain.

few:

Chad

few:

bought

few:

him

few:

dinner.

few:

He’d

few:

picked

few:

himself

few:

out

few:

a

few:

salad

few:

with

few:

oven

few:

roasted

few:

turkey

few:

breast.
Chad

few:

shrugged,

few:

eating

few:

his

few:

own

few:

salad. “Kind

few:

of?

few:

I

few:

usually

few:

just

few:

use

few:

the

few:

rules

few:

for

few:

donating

few:

blood.”

few:

He

few:

smiled

few:

over

few:

at

few:

Nigel. “A

few:

huge

few:

issue

few:

I

few:

came

few:

across

few:

when

few:

I

few:

first

few:

got

few:

feasted

few:

on,

few:

was

few:

there

few:

was

few:

no

few:

before or

few:

aftercare.

few:

It

few:

was

few:

like...

few:

such

few:

intense

few:

vertigo.

few:

Your

few:

body

few:

needs

few:

resources

few:

to

few:

make

few:

new

few:

blood

few:

cells to

few:

replace

few:

the

few:

ones

few:

you lose.

few:

Eating

few:

healthier

few:

food

few:

and

few:

drinking

few:

plenty

few:

of

few:

water

few:

before

few:

and

few:

after

few:

helps

few:

you

few:

keep

few:

your

few:

energy.”
Nigel

few:

nodded. “Huh.”

few:

He

few:

ate

few:

a

few:

forkful

few:

of

few:

salad

few:

while

few:

glancing

few:

at

few:

the

few:

canine. “You’re

few:

pretty

few:

smart.”
“Nah,

few:

dude.”

few:

Chad’s

few:

ears

few:

slicked

few:

back. “I

few:

only

few:

know

few:

this

few:

shit

few:

because

few:

I

few:

did

few:

a

few:

lot

few:

of

few:

research

few:

when

few:

I

few:

first

few:

got

few:

turned.

few:

It

few:

was

few:

kinda

few:

weird

few:

because

few:

I

few:

wasn’t

few:

that

few:

invested

few:

in

few:

any

few:

of

few:

my

few:

classes.”
“Guess

few:

you

few:

had

few:

a

few:

reason

few:

to

few:

apply

few:

yourself.

few:

It’s

few:

a

few:

lot

few:

easier

few:

to

few:

trust

few:

someone

few:

who

few:

knows

few:

what

few:

they’re

few:

talking

few:

about.”
Chad

few:

turned

few:

to

few:

look

few:

at

few:

Nigel,

few:

his

few:

irises

few:

big

few:

and

few:

trembling. “You

few:

trust

few:

me?”     
Nigel

few:

looked

few:

away

few:

and

few:

chuckled

few:

nervously. “Whoa.

few:

That

few:

is

few:

an

few:

intense

few:

look.”
“Sorry.

few:

I-I

few:

just

few:

haven’t

few:

ever

few:

heard

few:

someone

few:

say

few:

that

few:

out

few:

loud.

few:

It

few:

really

few:

means

few:

a

few:

lot,

few:

dude.”
“Yeah…”

few:

Nigel

few:

kept

few:

eating

few:

his

few:

salad,

few:

trying

few:

to

few:

distract

few:

himself

few:

by

few:

looking

few:

around

few:

the

few:

interior

few:

of

few:

Chad’s

few:

truck.

few:

The

few:

windows

few:

were

few:

all

few:

tinted

few:

to

few:

an

few:

extreme,

few:

probably

few:

to

few:

keep

few:

Chad’s flesh

few:

safe

few:

when

few:

he

few:

had

few:

to

few:

drive

few:

in

few:

the

few:

morning.

few:

The

few:

car

few:

was

few:

a

few:

little

few:

messy,

few:

and

few:

mostly

few:

smelled

few:

like…

few:

him.

few:

Nigel

few:

had

few:

to

few:

restrain

few:

himself

few:

from

few:

taking

few:

a

few:

deep

few:

breath.
He

few:

could

few:

feel

few:

Chad’s

few:

eyes

few:

on

few:

him. “So…

few:

Can

few:

I

few:

ask

few:

what

few:

you’re

few:

hoping

few:

to

few:

get

few:

out

few:

of

few:

all

few:

this?

few:

Besides

few:

the

few:

interview

few:

and…

few:

you

few:

know…

few:

the

few:

surprise

few:

sexual

few:

encounter.”
Nigel

few:

tilted

few:

his

few:

head

few:

as

few:

he

few:

continued

few:

poking

few:

at

few:

his

few:

salad. “I’m

few:

not

few:

looking

few:

for

few:

anything, really.

few:

I just happened to get

few:

curious about

few:

it

few:

during

few:

the

few:

interview,

few:

and…

few:

well… It sounded

few:

appealing.”
“But like, it’s

few:

not

few:

a

few:

fetish type

few:

thing, right?”
Nigel’s

few:

gaze

few:

snapped

few:

to Chad. “What?

few:

No!

few:

I

few:

just

few:

met

few:

you!”
Chad’s

few:

chest

few:

fell

few:

and

few:

he

few:

looked

few:

a

few:

bit

few:

relieved. “Cool!”
“I am

few:

definitely

few:

curious

few:

about

few:

the

few:

context.”
Chad

few:

glanced

few:

at

few:

Nigel. “Yeah,

few:

figured

few:

you

few:

might

few:

be.

few:

I

few:

just

few:

have

few:

vampire

few:

movie

few:

fans

few:

saying

few:

all

few:

this

few:

creepy

few:

stuff

few:

online, and

few:

it

few:

was

few:

even

few:

worse

few:

back

few:

when

few:

I

few:

was

few:

a

few:

student.

few:

It’s

few:

not

few:

very

few:

hot.”
Nigel

few:

frowned,

few:

causing

few:

Chad

few:

to

few:

smile.
“It’s

few:

not

few:

too

few:

serious,

few:

little

few:

dude.”

few:

He

few:

lifted

few:

a

few:

paw

few:

and

few:

rested

few:

it

few:

on

few:

Nigel’s

few:

head.

few:

He

few:

started

few:

to

few:

gently

few:

scratch

few:

behind

few:

his

few:

ears.
Nigel

few:

squirmed

few:

and

few:

started

few:

to

few:

purr,

few:

squeezing

few:

his

few:

eyes

few:

shut.
“Aww…”

few:

Chad

few:

chuckled. “You’re

few:

fun,

few:

I

few:

like

few:

you.”
“Thanks…”

few:

Nigel

few:

grumbled as he

few:

continued

few:

purring. “Really

few:

glad

few:

to

few:

see

few:

you

few:

exploiting

few:

my

few:

head-scratch

few:

weakness.”
Chad

few:

stopped

few:

scratching.
Nigel

few:

opened

few:

his

few:

eyes. “You

few:

don’t

few:

have

few:

to

few:

stop!”
Chad

few:

was

few:

watching

few:

him

few:

intently.
Nigel

few:

met

few:

his

few:

gaze, “What’s

few:

wrong?”     
Chad

few:

shrugged. “I

few:

just…

few:

You

few:

know.

few:

The

few:

plan

few:

is

few:

to

few:

fuck

few:

you

few:

and

few:

drink your

few:

blood.

few:

But

few:

you

few:

don’t

few:

seem

few:

all

few:

that

few:

phased.

few:

I

few:

know

few:

you

few:

said

few:

you

few:

trust

few:

me,

few:

but

few:

I

few:

just…”

few:

He

few:

cracked

few:

a

few:

small

few:

smile. “You’re

few:

a

few:

weird

few:

little

few:

kitten.”
“I

few:

am

few:

a

few:

perfectly

few:

average

few:

height

few:

for

few:

my

few:

breed.”

few:

Nigel

few:

turned

few:

back

few:

to

few:

his

few:

salad.
“Mhmm… Mhmm”

few:

Chad

few:

mumbled

few:

as

few:

he

few:

forked

few:

more

few:

lettuce

few:

into

few:

his

few:

muzzle. “Speaking

few:

of

few:

breeding,

few:

finish

few:

your

few:

salad.”
Nigel

few:

started

few:

to

few:

chuckle,

few:

rolling

few:

his

few:

eyes.
