Quinn, Lucas and Covid
R.I. Polsgrove
Note: this is NOT part of the main narrative. The main narrative does not line up with current events.
Quinn and Lucas walked the dark streets, their fangs fully extended. The pale moonlight washed over their cadaverous skin. Their crimson eyes scanned the road ahead. A vague sense of uneasiness hung in the air of the empty town.
“Does something feel off to you?” Lucas asked, lifting the camera that hung around his neck. He snapped a picture of the moon through some tree branches.
Quinn furrowed his brow. “It does,” he said in a smooth English accent.
The shop windows had signs saying things like “social distancing” and “you must wear a mask to enter.” All the bars had big signs that read, "Closed."
“What are these?” Quinn asked, examining a sign.
Lucas took out his phone and opened his social media. “Oh shit. There’s another plague. It’s called COVID.”
Quinn groaned “Another one? Didn’t we just have one of those?” he asked, running his hand through his black hair that came to his shoulders.
Lucas shrugged, looking up at Quinn who was a few heads taller than him. “I don't remember...” he said.
"It wasn't the black death. That was long ago," Quinn thought out loud.
"Not typhoid," Lucas mumbled.
"Or influenza."
Lucas pursed his lips as he thought. "Was it yellow fever?"
"I don't remember," Quinn said, giving up.
"Does this mean we can't pick off drunks?"
Lucas looked longingly at a closed sign on a bar. "I like the drunk ones."
“It appears we're out of luck for now. But humans are resilient. They’ve managed to bounce back every other time," Quinn said, reassuringly.
Lucas adjusted the red cloth around his head. His brown hair spilled over to his brow. "Very true."
“I will admit I do admire their persistence," Quinn continued. “It'll be okay eventually. It alway is."
"And when the bars open back up think about how busy it will be!" Lucas said, excitedly.
"We'll be set for weeks," Quinn said, with a wicked grin.

Did I tell you I used to write about vampires, too? Starting in 8th grade and my latest “attempt” was maybe 6-7 months ago.
Really?? Now I wanna read it!

Okay, but I warn you it is beyond cringey. The reboot/sequel series went off the rails because I overindulged gratuitous lesbian sex scenes at the expense of the plot. The bizarre thing is that I did a What If sheet changing one event and the plot made 100x more sense.

It’s going to be a wild ride, I can promise you that.
