“The hour of the Tiger, Professor, how very academic of you to arrive now.” The creature’s voice was sibilant and urbane, filling Meier’s world with a terrible finality. Ignoring the pain of his broken leg, he continued to crawl forward. Blood, black on the concrete, smeared his hands and clothes. Little of it was his. The creature was indiscriminate in its feeding, leaving twisted corpses like table scraps for him to follow. They’d hoped to catch it in the act, when it was most vulnerable to their primitive weapons. But the creature was cunning, a twisted marriage of human and predator instincts. Now he was all that was left of his team. It was up to him to reach the firebombs, to trigger the explosion that would forever destroy the abomination. Just another five meters, another thirty seconds. The voice sounded close, and he sobbed in pain and frustration. Just ten more seconds. It was on him too quickly, though, claws stabbing into flesh. Meier clutched at his broken leg, howling in agony. Sanguine eyes regarded him. “Would that I could stay for the party, but, as the poet says, I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.” The creature held up a copy of a driver’s license, one clawed finger tapping at the address. Icy terror gripped Meier’s heart, and he grappled desperately with the vampire. But his fingers closed on smoke, the empty warehouse and silent corpses the only witnesses to his despair. |
