"No, Lois, not dead. More accurately you might say I'm one of the... undead." His smile grew wider revealing a set of canine fangs straight out of a B-movie horror double feature. Aaahhh! That would be a nightmare. "No, Lois, not dead. More accurately you might say I'm one of the... undead." His smile grew wider revealing a set of canine fangs straight out of a B-movie horror double feature. Well, he's got you there! She was getting hungry, but she knew what was behind those doors and nothing there appealed to her. I have a bad feeling about this. "I'm positively fantastic." She moved toward him as he struggled to his feet. "I'm just a bit hungry, that's all." She giggled. "I wonder how Kryptonian blood will taste." I stand corrected. This is the nightmare! She staggered back staring, dumbfounded, at the slender wooden dowel that protruded from her chest. She looked up at Clark, confusion in her eyes. He was crying. "How could you?" She saw his mouth open, but didn't hear any sound. Everything faded to black. Well, you gotta do what you've gotta do! Her grin became feral, causing the light from the overhead fluorescent fixture to glint off the overly long canines. "Why don't you come in here? I think it's time for breakfast." What a great Halloween story, and what a creepy ending.

Yay! A scary halloween story! "You can't be here. You're dead. I saw you die... twice." Well, Lois... He only died *twice*. He's got at least 7 lives to go. LOL! His smile grew wider revealing a set of canine fangs straight out of a B-movie horror double feature. Hehehe! I can totally see him in those B/W late night things. Hilarious! (I'm sure that's not the effect you were going for, but... oh well!) Lois continued to back up. Her voice wavered as she spoke. "It's not possible. There are no such things as Vampires."
"Really?" His smile turned mocking. "Just like there are no such things as clones, parallel worlds, or flying aliens from other planets?" Great come back! hehe! Somehow I'm getting an urge to say "never underestimate the power of the daaaaark side". LOL! "A vampire is a creature of magic, Lois, and didn't I hear somewhere that Superman has some problems when it comes to magic?" oops... She leaned against the hand and pressed her lips against his palm. She could taste him. uh oh... "Lois! Fight this. We can get you help. There must be a way to undo this." Umm... I hate to say this, but, Clark... this is not the time to be optimistic! This is the time to get your super-butt out of there!!! Her grin became feral, causing the light from the overhead fluorescent fixture to glint off the overly long canines. hehehehe! Most excellent! Loved it!!

Halloween is such an odd holiday. But hey, if it means fun little fics like this, I'm for it.
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

Considering the time of year, the title of the story and the author, I'd say the ending was to be expected. Well, maybe I expected Lois to actually get Clark. SuperVampire would have been an interesting guy to have around. Call it a tank-challenge!

Is it safe to come out now? Bad Tank! I'll admit I was suspicious when you gave us the 'whew, it was all a dream' 'ending'. This was perfect, spooky Hallowe'en fun! LabRat
