An original drabble

[cornerofmadness]

getyourwordsout had a write a drabble challenge. I came up with this for what I hope to make my novel of 2021. Let me know what you think.

Mistaken for a Vampire

Bentley crawled out the door into the snow away from his father. Fighting to get his legs under him, the boy started to run. The house at the end of the block. He had to make it there. A monster hunter lived there.

Blood streamed between his trembling fingers pressed against his neck as he stumbled down the snowy walk. He collapsed by her hedges, the snow cold against the burning pain in his throat.

“Die you little vampire,” his father screamed, brandishing his knife.

“Frank, stop!”

Trista did her job. She stopped the monster. Bentley knew she’d save him.
