Anton’s father leaned over the edge of the crib to take a closer look.

“And two at once to boot…”

Deadly too.
It was Transylvania after all.

I love your stories, Dieter. and writing one in 42 words is fairly impressive ;Can they get any shorter?
My goal is to better Hemingway’s brilliant ‘for sale. baby shoes. never worn’. So look out for a 5 word story somewhere in the following months 😉
Very nice. Reader’s mind can easily fill in the rest =)
Just a few words can get the imagination going – nice!

Superb, as always!
Been following and reading the archive for the last few weeks. I especially like how open-ended this one is. If the dad’s a vampire, is the mom a vampire too? If not, does she know what her husband is? Or maybe she’s the vampire, and he’s the hapless mortal fallen in love with her?
I totally love this – short, creepy, and we totally get the point. Plus it makes you think about the endless stories that could come from this short one…. Well done!
i love this
