The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

"What the fuck is that?!!!"

I had said this out loud when I came across my first one, somewhere right before San Marcos.

It had been a stalled car in the middle of the road, still running, blood splattered all over the inside of the cab and one of those undead fucks was halfway inside still devouring the corpse.

I had slowed to observe the scene and as I passed, the creature had turned and stared directly at me with his hollow pale eyes......I shuddered.

Being about 20 minutes past Austin, I was now used to the sight of wreckage, stalled cars, or mangled bodies in the road.

My mind began to drift back to days when I would make this drive through sunny weather, my favorite CD blaring, cell phone held close and a smile from ear to ear. It seemed to fly by, and even though traffic would really piss me off, nothing could get me down on those days. The weekends that I would get to see him were what I looked forward to the most.

All of a sudden I am snapped out of my daydream by something in the road......I slam on my brakes but end up running it over anyways, and by the way my car jumped around, it's not small......

I come to a complete stop and try to look through my rearview.....no good....I can't see anything at all.

I dare not take one step out of the car so I put it in park, lock my doors and unbuckle myself.

I turn around and climb between the front seats....On my knees in the back seat, I strain to look out my back windshield......

Where the hell did it go?.......

*Smack!* ....a bloody hand comes up from the back of my car and slaps the top of my trunk, slowly pulling itself up onto my car is.....

a torso.....

I'm amused to watch this thing struggle.....but as he reaches the window he leans right up to it and only the glass seperates our faces.....I can feel my heart begin to thump loudly and my breahing is heavy now as fear begins to creep in.....with a sudden movement he screeches at my face, his mouth wide open in some horribly twisted scream of hunger.....i jump back some and watch as his breath fogs over the window.

Fuck this!

I turn around, jump into the drivers seat and slam on the gas pedal......I look back.....he's still there! I start swerving all over the road, hoping to throw him off, but he's a trooper no doubt! *thud thud thud thud* what the?

He's trying to break the glass, oh shit, ok this is serious, I gotta get him off my car!

"Jack, my beautiful car, you have served me well and I apologize for what I'm about to do"

Ahead is a stalled truck on my right and I aim directly for it.......my grip tightens on the steering wheel and as I come just up to it I jerk the wheel to the right, side swiping the truck hard.

I open my eyes and loosen my grip and take a breath before I look back........

he's gone!!!!

My car is fucked but as long as it runs we're in good shape.

I feel slightly triumphant now, maybe the rest of the trip will be worry free.....

Keys....I had to find my keys.

I run back up to my apartment and wildly throw shit around " I know they're here on the floor somewhere" A jingling noise and there they are!

Hell yeah!

I run out of my apartment, down the stairs into the parking lot and make a bee line to my car.

Jumping in quickly I shove the keys into the ignition and there it is.....the orange light of doom that tells me I'm just about to run out of gas.

"Fuck!"

I begin making my way out of my complex.....I gotta have a plan. I don't know how many of those things are out there.....if I stop at a gas station will I even have enough time to put gas in my car?

I guess I'm about to find out.

I turn the corner and pull into the deserted Tetco.

I stop the car and wait for a second, holding my breath......silence.

I step out of the car and scan the gas station......no sign of life, but I know this doesn't mean I'm safe. I grab the nozzle and try the handle....nothing.

Are you serious?! I have to PAY for gas?

"rrrrrrr"

Exasperated, I grab my debit card from my purse and slide it into the reader, enter my pin and wait.

"Please select fuel type" the glowing screen tells me.

Regular. I press the handle up and lock it, I'm going to need a full tank for this.

Seconds later a loud voice begins speaking and I nearly jump out of my skin.

"To redeem your Tetco points, place your tag on the reader shortly after you begin fueling"

Oh yea! I grab my keys and place my tetco tag on the reader till it beeps.

"You are only 30 points away from receiving a level 1 reward" it tells me.

"Sweet" ......wait, why in the fuck does this even matter? What the hell is wrong with me?

I shake my head at myself and then I see movement out of the corner of my eye.

Turning to look I see one of them, apparently aroused by the loud noises coming from the intercom.....oh shit.....there's more.

Behind him there seems to be at least ten more all shuffling about erratically in my direction.

"Come on come on! Hurry up and be full!" I don't know how much gas I have now but I don't have time to wait, I yank the nozzle out while it's still pumping and the gas sprays everywhere. The smell almost makes me sick as it fills my lungs. I jump into my car and slam the door.

Searching frantically I find the pink lighter and some napkins in my glove box. As I light the napkins I can see in my side mirror that they are much closer than they appear.

Once well lit, I toss the flaming paper towards the gas pump and slam on the gas.

I watch in my rear view.......nothing but some small flames.....hmmm, I guess it didn't work, oh well at least I escaped. And then it happens.

I jump from the unexpected explosion and look back out my window to see flaming bodies writhing in agony as they pour out into the street.

"haha!!!! You motherfuckers!"

I continue to laugh for a little while as I make my way to him.....4 hours away. The trip had always been a good one as I used to smile the whole drive knowing that once I had reached my destination I would be in the arms of my beloved. But now I wasn't sure what it would be like....

Good thing you were in the car. The tricky part about setting people on fire is that you have no idea which way they are going to run. O.o





I can hardly wait for more...
