From the Jewish letters (lettres juives), letter 137 -- We have just had in this part of Hungary a scene of vampirism, which is duly attested by two officers of the tribunal of Belgrade, who went down to the places specified, and by an officer of the emperor's troops at Graditz, who was an ocular witness of the proceedings.

October 18, 2007 (Maghull and Aintree Star / Ed Casson) -- People are being urged to don spooky outfits and complete a charity run. The Jospice Dracula Dash is a four-mile route starting and finishing at Asda in Aintree.

Death to the wicked, I declare
Peace to the restless whom I scare
Kill for spite;
What an appetite
For destruction it is that I have
Listening for my scream
Seeing my delight
Madness in my eyes
Sparkles very bright
Searing heat seizes me;
Chilling coldness grips
My body rebels that which is given
For now I cannot see
Laughing just for spite
Crying out with all my might
Pleading with the lion;
The Unicorn roars into the night
Stars sparkle and shine
I am losing my mind

Koreena watches with slight reservation as the men in the room disappear to 'investigate' and as LB soon follows. While they head outside Koreena takes her drink and moves over towards her chair. She sits down and closes her eyes, listening to the myriad of tiny sounds coming from outside the inn, a mental image forming for her. Blinks at Demon's changing. 'That doesn't happen too often...or maybe he is less reserved now. Could have caught it without the show.' She grins and takes a sip of her drink.

dragons fly free
over a blood red sea
unicorns run abundant
on plains of green land
wizards and goblins
there are quite a few
in the land of my mind
anything's true
I make up the worlds
I give them their names
I name all the seas and mountains and plains
I make up the species
like froggins and gloons
I give them the days, the nights, and the moon
with out much a thought
I give them all homes
I make up the stories
I make up their lives
the world is my own
I am the creator
