The cemetery was quiet, and had been for several hours. Emily tried to make conversation here or there, but Mary would quickly hush her, too focused on listening for vampire-like sounds to chat. Emily sat on the ground, leaning back on a tombstone while munching on a bag of Doritos, rather amused by Mary's antics and pure determination to encounter something supernatural.
Mary circled the nearby graves vigilantly, absolutely certain she would see something now that she was ready to open her eyes.

Mary: "Did you hear something?"
Emily: "Yeah. It kind of sounded like... the last 10 Doritos I've eaten."

Mary: "No more crunchy snacks on stake-outs. Stake-outs, get it?"
Emily: "You're a regular laugh riot."
Mary: "Good, I plan to quit my day job. While putting my eggs on in one basket AND running with scissors."

Emily: "Oh my god. Do you see it? There's one rising right now... look!!"
Mary: "Where? Where???"
Emily: "Over there! It's a vampire cow!"

Mary: "I don't see it, where?!?"

Mary: "If you don't cut that out, I'm sending the ghost of Old Smokey after you. I bet he runs a lot faster when he's incorporeal."

Mary: "I wonder how many vampires rise on any given night... I'm given to understand that their lifespans are actually rather short, on average."
Emily: "I don't know about that, but I still don' t think they'd be rising in the cemetery. I mean, people get embalmed in this day and age. And then they get locked away in a concrete vault underneath 6 feet of dirt. It's just the decent thing to do when you're dead. Vampire or not, I really don't see how one would prevail in that situation."

Mary: "Maybe you're right. It's just... vampires and cemeteries... it's practically peanut butter and jelly."
Emily: "Which is weird, too, when you really think about it."
Mary: "I guess."

Emily: "Did you hear that?"
Mary: "I know, vampire cow. Let's go stake ourselves a steak!"

Emily: "Shhh! Seriously! I thought I heard something over there by the far wall..." |
