A
Vampire Bar
Crystal
Crest Realm

It was a long day at work, and I needed to drown out the pain of dealing
with people. I hated today since they were making me crazy with running freight, and I wanted to sit and
relax at a bar. Where do I go? Wing Command since I love their food, and a shot
of Goldschlager and a Red Bull and vodka is just what I need. It was one of
those days, and I got off at 5 while boyfriend got off at the same time. I
thought about it the whole time at work, and I really wanted this night at the
bar. I got out of my work clothes since I just got off. I relaxed a little bit just to wind down
while I wait for my boyfriend Derek to get home. I wrote some because I’m a
writer and I was so pissed at this day I just had to get it off my chest. The
day had been long with me working non-stop doing different things at once.
Zoning, phone watching, repeat over and over again. That’s it and the time
ticked by so slow I thought I would go bonkers with it. I hated it. Picking up
shoe after shoe when customers toss out a shoe they don’t want to buy. They
stuff it under the shelves or leave it where it is.
I
let it all go since I’m off from that hell for two days
which means I can go to my hangout. I’ll have a few drinks and it will make the
night off better. I worked on my retail story AngelWitch to get over the
stupidity of today, and that’s what they say write what you know. My name is
Dannika, and this night at Wing Command will change my life forever. My
boyfriend comes home from work, and I’m happy because he is my rock to this
crazy life. I get my things ready and we go out. We take my car, and the drive
is short too. It’s less than ten minutes away, and close by which is good after
drinking some. Derek parks the car, and I get out. The front is a big place,
and on the outside Wing Command is there with a little plane at the end of the
blue words. I love it, and I don’t need to be ID’d since it’s still early right
now. We go inside and it’s all red walls with flat screens placed throughout
the store. There is a bar area, pool area, and the main area with a place where
bands can perform on Thursday. I know the owner, and he is a very friendly
Filipino guy. Always gives me a hug, and his wife is nice too. I’ve been going
there for a few years. I love it there, and I get my usual place with my
waitress. Her name is Monica, and she always gets my drink order. I get the
usual drink and so does Derek. I love his blue eyes and short hair too cut like
military style since the Army has it like that. He is 5’5 and I’m 4’8 we make
it work since we have been dating for 8 months. We talk about everything his
day and my dreaded morning shift. I can talk to him for hours at this point.
The drinks are here, and I take a shot down of the drink and sip on my Red Bull
and Vodka. It makes all my troubles go away, and I’m happy now. I’m no longer
worried over work bull shit, and the boss threatening to get me in trouble if I
don’t work faster thanks to the person in charge of my area. I don’t worry
about much, but I notice it doesn’t taste like it usually does. It has a
metallic taste to it. Like blood. I look at my drink and it is blood….
….I pass out and wake up in a room
with a bed and I’m tied to it. Great…I wonder how much time is passed since I
took a drink. Derek is nowhere to be found. But some time passes, and he comes
through the door.
“Are you okay?” He asked me.
“What happened?” I asked him wondering
how I got here.
“I turned you into a vampire so you
can get revenge on your evil boss, and coworker.” He told me with a wicked
glint in his eyes. He knew exactly what I needed.
Things
are getting worse at SaveMart, and it was time to clean house. I’m thirsty and I look to my left there is a glass of blood
on a nightstand, and I drink the whole thing. It actually has a taste to it,
and it tasted really good. The best drink of water when I’m in the desert. Why
don’t I freak out? Why don’t I call him a monster and break up with him?
Because I’ve had an obsession with vampires for a while, and I have always
wanted to be one. The owners of my favorite haunt are vampires, and they even
turned their waitresses into them. They need me to be on their team to go after
the mean customers.
I look at him, “Thanks, and I love you.”
“I love you too, and I don’t want to
go on living without you. Now go after the bitches. They deserve to die
especially the snitch.”
“Will do, and I don’t want to be
without you either.” I tell him.
I get up and notice that my reflexes
are better, my strength stronger, and I’m fierce too. My humanity is gone, and
I will not feel guilty about killing that lazy bitch either. She does not do
anything. Then afterward I can go to Luxor, and live there with Derek. I wanted
to get out of Crystal Crest so here is my chance.
A
few days later I clock in for my last shift ever because I’m not going to go into work anymore for this hell hole.
They ride me too much, and I can’t take it anymore. I plan on getting in
trouble and then when they both pull me in I will take them out with my
silencer on my revolver. My silenced .38. I drive and the sun does not bother
me at all. I love it. I was afraid I would have to give up the sun I don’t have
to. I get dressed in my tacky uniform and head out. Once I get there I start
zoning like usual. I notice a cart of shoes, but I ignore it today. I’m giving
her a taste of her own medicine first. I’ll make her do her job for once.
Supervisor comes up to me, “You know
you have a cart to do, and it’s right there. Then we have five more to go.”
Screw it…
“Well, if that’s the case you had
better start now so you can finish it by the time you leave.”
She scoffs, “It’s your job actually do
as I say.”
“No, I won’t do work for you since
your a lazy bitch. You have me and others do the work while you do practically
nothing. You call me slow and say I need to speed it up while you leave shit
behind the counter. You’re a lazy piece of shit, and I hope you choke and die.”
She glares, “I’ll get the manager and
we will coach you for being a smart ass.”
“Then go get her because I want to
talk to her about how much of a lazy bitch you are…”
She leaves, and I’m happy since I did
see the manager. Once they pull me into the office I’ll take them out to finish
the job….
An hour after finishing the area she
called me slow in I get a call.
“They need to see you in the office.” A
coworker tells me.
“Gladly…”
I walk to the front, and the bitch is
there with the boss.
Boss looked at me, “Now tell me why
you were rude to supervisor.”
“She is a lazy bitch, and I’m not
doing shit till you fire her.”
“How about I fire you?” She told me.
My reply, “You can’t since I already
quit…”
I take my .38 and aim it at the bosses
head. I pull the trigger, and the bullet goes right through her and blood
splatters into the wall.
“You were useless anyway…” I tell her
unmoving body.
I turn my attention to bitch
supervisor, and then give her a mean glare.
“Consider this death sentence for
being a lazy bitch, and not doing your job.” I do the same to her, and then I
leave. I fill the office with kerosene and strike a match.
“I’ve always hated this job anyway.” I
throw the match, and it lights up like a Christmas tree…I get home in record
time, and tell Derek about everything…
“Good they deserved it.”
Then we leave the Crystal Crest, and
go to Luxor where I get a better job and better treatment. I become a famous
author there, and live out eternity as a vampire loving it every single day…..
The End….
