Vampires R Us
by Marge Simon
I see you out there! Welcome to Vampires R Us and do come in! We spin no illusions here, sit down and make yourself comfy. But make note, this is not a costume rental shop. If you must pretend you are a vampire, buy one of those kits with those ridiculous fake teeth, pale make-up, scraggly wig and eye pencil. You say you understand and that you want to stay? Good! Our wares here are pricey but authentic; you get what you pay for. Every item has been or shall be owned by a real vampire.
What? You say you actually want to become a vampire? Kindly give your wallet to the tall gentleman at the door. Put this napkin around your shoulders. We don’t want to get blood on your new vampire suit, do we? Now stick out your neck.
