The bloody train was late. I left the house early in case by some miracle it might be on time or God forbid early. I thought I would take a gentl...[Read Full Post] Mon, 07 May 2007 07:29:56 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/506680 May 4th I discovered that my hosts had received instruction from Dracula to save be the best seat on the coach for the next part of my journey. One with a TV and minibar would have been appreciated but was apparently not possible. I was beginning to think that Count Dracula was a tight bastard. I enquired with the old man and old woman as t...[Read Full Post] Wed, 09 May 2007 10:09:02 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/507255 Although I could see areas of the castle’s courtyard, they were shrouded in darkness.

For some time after my discovery I ran around the castle like a man possessed. I rattled doors, I banged on windows, I kicked at loose stones in the wall and I wet myself before making it to the bathroom. On my second lap of the castle, by which time I had tried every door three times and kicked the toes out of my shoes, I was...[Read Full Post] Sat, 28 Jul 2007 11:28:21 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/518069 I am now somewhat disturbed by Dracula and his ways – in more ways than simply when he is disturbing my sleep and wishing to talk.
