"It makes no difference as to who I am but the purpose of my visit will be quite plain very soon. Yes, very much so." He favored me with another of his smiles. Before I could say another thing he resumed. "You haven't been quite yourself lately have you?" he said, more of a statement than a question. Waiting for no answer, he rapidly continued. "Yes, yes, quite so. You have been upset lately and have been puzzled and very much disturbed by....shall we say...heretofore unparalleled discoveries? You have no doubt felt yourself being watched. I was the watcher and I was observing you for very good reasons. Reasons that justified my watching you. I have also found out that which I had been been looking for." He smiled again and it annoyed me as much as his little speech. I had little to no idea of what he was talking about. "I don't understand just what you mean," I ventured. "You have admitted prowling about on my property and seem to know that I have been feeling a little unnatural lately but so far, you don't make sense," I said quite coldly. The sooner this visitor was gone, the better I'd like it. "My friend," he said very fraternally, "you have lost much sleep at nights lately haven't you? And you've been bothered by...ah, shall we say, dental troubles? Also, you have had a most unpleasant experience with...er...a closet. Yes. I can ex--" I broke in angrily. "I haven't the least idea of what you are talking about and I will thank you to terminate your visit and leave these premises at once." I was on my feet now and he stood up and towered over me somewhat. "You are overwrought, my comrade. Calm down and let me explain. First, haven't you noticed anything different about me?" He smiled at me again, adding to my unease as I noticed and remembered that I had noticed. I remembered reading somewhere...but... "You do then! My unnatural...ah, pallor, my dark eyes and my build. My...teeth!" He breathed the last word and revealed his teeth in a wide grin. HIS TEETH! Now I remembered...two things...! "Y-You are a vampire!" I gasped. "Yes...and so are you." - END - --------------------------------- ELSIE by BILL WARREN Elsie was a luscious, / delectable thing; / she had all the boys / going round in a ring. This two-timing babe / was a regular coquette -- / she'd lead the guys on, / and them make them sweat. She was a vision of beauty, / a sight to behold; / and in her home town / she made the boys bold. But Elsie's from Venus, / and it's sad but it's true / that we wouldn't like her -- / she's shaped like a shmoo! 19
