I decided to use another vampire prompt this week, and I could use your assistance! Here’s the prompt…

Write about a vampire who hates the taste of blood.

Here’s the story…

Cornelius knocked on the door in the dark alley of a Chicago warehouse.

A small plate slid to the side, revealing the glare of the bouncer. “Pass phrase?”

“I want to have a drink.”

The bouncer frowned. “You have to say it right or I can’t let you in.”

“It’s degrading.”

“It’s the rules.”

Cornelius sighed but slurred his over-the-top Romanian accent. “I vant to have a dlink.”

The bouncer smirked and opened the door. “Okay, I lied. You didn’t have to do it, but it was entertaining.”

“You’re an asshole.” Cornelius pushed past the bouncer and entered the vampire bar.
