‘Or maybe you’ve been watching too much Supernatural?’ said Chloe. ‘Let’s go in and have a look round. Look, that doorway over there isn’t boarded up properly.’
‘Bloody hell!’ Tiff stepped in a huge dog turd. ‘I’m always so unlucky.’
She wiped her shoe ineffectually on the grass. ‘Oh, come on, let’s just go.’
A pair of black eyes watched them leave. He snarled, fangs glinting in the candlelight as he lashed out with his taloned hands.
Next time.

The lucky dog poop cracks me up. I’m sure the vampire or whatever is lurking will chase away all the visiting doggies in the future. Fun story.
