Man at War – Excerpt No. 96

When Evelyn agreed to come here at The Grand she knew it advertised itself as being a haven for their kind. She also knew that humans were to be guests, as a way of hiding the true nature of their most cherished clientele. Hiding amongst the sheep.

What she did not count on was the fact that they would treat people like cattle. Evelyn fully expected the model to be one of the many staff needed to maintain a hotel of this size. I was not counting on her being a late night snack.

Of course that explained why they were building the world’s largest hedge labyrinth on the valley floor below. It also shed light on their reason for maintaining the wild woods surrounding the manicured gardens. Drugged prey for the lazy hunter

Picture of a woman running down a large hedge maze, the walls too high to scale, the scene dark, clothes bloody and torn. Chasing her is a vampire, as though the stuff of nightmares. Scene and clothing appropriate for 1915 Canada at night.
