I was surprised how well the meeting with the vampires went. They were friendly and open, and once I got used to their pallid skin, I felt like I was talking to other people. Their leader, who calls herself Nessa, told us that they had a one-block perimeter covered to make sure the aliens couldn't surprise us. We were a little dismayed when she told us that we were followed as soon as we left our homes. But she reassured us that it was for our safety's sake as well as theirs.We learned that ...

Tonight I am going to meet with the leaders of the vampire underground. I arranged for two other people to come with me because I don't have the authority to speak for all the underground cells in this area. I called the vampire who saved my life last week, and he said he was delighted to hear from me. At the end of the conversation he called me, "His friend." I can't believe I'm becoming friends with a vampire. A week ago I thought they were something out of fiction. But, we have a common e... Read Full Story

The meeting had barely got underway when a small alien spherical droid burst into the room. Dozens of people were wounded and a few killed instantly. As we made our way to the door, the alien reptiles burst into the room. I was knocked to the floor and about to be shot when a man grabbed the reptile and broke its neck. He helped me off the floor and we fled the building. We ran for two blocks before we stopped to look back.I was out of breath, but he seemed to be fine. When I looked closer, ... Read Full Story
If I told you my real name, the reptiles would kill me within 24 hours. So this is the name I'm going to use as I work with the underground. There's a meeting tonight in a Washington suburb. I just took my Glock (automatic) apart and reassembled it. I made sure I had five spare clips of bullets. Now I'm looking for my Kevlar vest. My friend John is working on an electronic device he claims will detect the presence of a single alien in a room full of humans. That's one of the big problems. ... Read Full Story

Last night's episode of Castle wasn't Just about Halloween and Vampires. It introduced many viewers to the vampire subculture in a very vivid manner. I'm sure many viewers were surprised to learn that some of men and women who live the life of a vampire have porcelain fangs implanted in their mouths. Even more shocking were the scenes of sanguinarians, or blood drinkers, actually ingesting blood from other people. The writers of the show didn't make this up, it happens to it in special clubs...

My wife and I went to Asheboro, North Carolina to visit the fabulous zoo just outside the city. We had a great day at the zoo visiting the Africa section. Gwen had gone to sleep by 10:00pm, tired from the walking we had done. I was in the mood for a couple of mugs of a good microbrew. Asheboro was dry, no alcohol, until July of this year, and doesn't have well-established pubs. I was talking with the hotel manager about this when he told me about some private clubs in the area. He recommende... Read Full Story
