a story i wrote in 50 minits

Things always look better in the morning
by Joseph O'Neill

The long black trench coat with the red silk lining flapped in the wind like wings of an animal as the figure drifted down the ally way hardly seaming to touch the ground the black guitar case on his back the only comfort for the night ahead the sun was setting things would start to look worse now the shadows creeping up the ally almost at the door all light would be gone then. A rustle from a nearby bin made the figure grip the crimson guns and unsheathes them from their holsters. One in each hand the figure felt slightly comforted thinking the noise was a cat till the shadows reached the bin and there was another rustle followed by six loud bangs from the crimson weapons and six holes making a prefect circle on the now dented surface of the bins. A pause for sound the shadows growing ever closer the orange light fading like along with the hope the noise was just a cat. Another rustle spinning round to fire another six silver bullets into the scorse of this sound. A hiss like a serpent the distinctive call of the vampires followed by a low and barely audible howl of a wolf then nothing.

Silence the worst noise of all. Then a slight crumbling noise of stone from the wall behind the man with the guitar case whirling a second to late coat spinning like the dress of a ballerina. A loud crunch and shooting pain in the shoulder of the man with the guns a stinking hairy bloodthirsty beast landed upon him casting his guns aside an severing his left hand with one swipe the werewolf growled “Good evening Dante how pleasant to see you”.

The light almost gone from the ally but luckily just enough for Dante’s plan to work he pointed his right hand at the beast he said in low soft voice that shook the wolf to its core he said “Shame you wont be around to enjoy my company” and with that he charged energy in to his right hand and blasted the wolf right in its open mouth hurling it into the dieing light. In one final death howl the beast was incinerated by the light and disappeared with the reaming sunlight.

Jumping to his feat Dante first grabbed his hand and reattached it to his body using magic. Then he picked up boath crimson weapons just in time to see a large winged vampire fly towards him firing three rounds into the skull of this foul beast. It crashed to the earth with the disgusting sound of broken bones three more vampires flew towards Dante who dropped his guns and grabbed for the knives strapped to his thighs running towards the monsters they shouted at him “Deserter you left us because you thought our methods weren’t right. You may have the blood of the old vampires and werewolves but you do not have the soul of the colony behind you” and with that he replied in the same low voice as before “we’ll see who wins” the heads of the two morbid creachers fell to the ground.

The door was only a few feet away just a little longer and he would make it but Raziel the king vampire and Nefereta the queen of the werewolves had other plans

Landing in front of the door to stop him from entering and ordering there subjects to surround but not attack Dante. Dante knew what this called for “Two on one is that your game?” Dante questioned trying to distract them from the fact he was opening the guitar case “Vell ve don’t vant any sing to go vrong, do ve?” Nefereta said in her Transylvanian accent. “No that would be awful” Raziel continued in his cockney accent. The king and queen shared a laugh before Dante could whip out the sword and shotgun from within the guitar case “Time for some fun” Dante aimed the shotgun at the grotesque green boil covered face of Raziel but Nefereta swung he scythe at the weapon knocking it off course so the bullets missed ricoshead off the concrete wall behind the pair cascading onto Nefereta’s back her momentary lose of concentration was all that was necessary for Dante to swing forward with his sword decapitating her ugly furcoverd head using the momentum gained from the slash Dante continued his spin till he came full circle and had the barrel of the shotgun on the forehead of Raziel “That’s it old buddy” Dante said to Raziel as he fell to the floor with two new nostrils on his forehead.

The bodies of the king and queen evaporate moments later with faint eary whispers of “We shall return and you wont feel so cocky next time” and with that the creatures surrounding him flew to there caves and mountains to await the return of their leaders

Walking towards the wooden door Dante felt relief wash over him as he stepped through the frame reach for a switch flicked it and the sun began to rise Dante was god of the morning it was his job to stop the evil of the night and bring beauty to the world. He turned for one moment and thought to himself as looked upon the carcases of the demons and the sun beginning to rise again turning the corpses into bundles of flowers “Things always look better in the morning.”

The robbery

Joseph O'Neill


Blood soaking through my cords a figure hanging by a chain at a nearby ledge and a biro, that had possibly killed a man hours earlier, grasped in my hand. Your probably wondering how I ended up like this well here it is.

I’m Vincent Moon most just call me Vince. I have been unofficially called the smartest student in England and don’t rub me up the wrong way because I’m tougher than one might think. Straight away I look normal average height, thin if not a little under weight, pale skin, just above shoulder length straight brown hair ordinary enough. My fashion sense on the other hand is something else a long black trench coat with a red hem and lining, top hat, jeans, black cons, and occasionally a cane with a concealed blade, only I know about the cane it’s for emergencies only. Walking down the lower east corridor of the prep halls admiring the setting sun I hear a rapid slapping of trainers on tile accompanied by a panting shout from behind “Oi Vince”

Lance Dior was small, black longish hair. He studies geography and history wants to be an archaeologist the toughest safe in the world. Today he was wearing his Metallica hoodie and black jeans and his dark rimmed prescription glasses.

“Hay wait up will you” “Why” I replied laughing to my self “You’re the one that thought bunking off during P.E. all the time was a good idea.” I stopped allowing him to catch up. I laughed as he panted to catch his breath. ‘Your so unfit, you should really think about going to the gym some time” he gave me a look and I knew to stop laughing. “So?” I questioned “Why such a hurry to catch up with me.” “Dante wants you to wait for him”.

Dante Black was Lance’s room-mate average height, shortish length electric blue hair, popular with everyone on campus. He studies English and IT. Well when he says he studies IT what he really mean is that he can hack into pretty much any computer. He’s also very tough but is pacifistic most of the time.

Dante walked slowly towards us. He was wearing a suit jacket with a badge on the lapel, a black blood brothers shirt, a pair of denim jeans that covered all but the toe of his black and silver cowboy boots with the pink heal and a black trilby, he held the black notebook he always carried in his right hand and had a black pen hanging limply from his lips.

Spitting out the pen catching it with his free hand he called to me “Thanks for waiting” .He then turned to Lance “Thanks for catching up with him” returning his gaze to me he asked “We going to the place tonight?” “Don’t know’ I replied, “I’ll ask Neil if he is able to come.”

Whipping out my bright pink phone, Alice got me for a laugh, I ran through the menu till I saw the name ‘Neil (Short arse)’.

Neil Lester, he’s about the same height as me I am two centimetres taller and we take the piss out of him for being small, even Lance who is half a head shorter. Neil has short brown hair. He studies architecture, physics and chemistry.

I sent him a text reading “You coming to the place tonight –Vince”. I noticed I had a voice message I listened laughed so I played it on speaker within moments I heard a tinny version of Alice’s voice shout from the phone “I changed all your ring tones to you shouting I’m a nob head.” followed by laughter from my friends “Nicest girlfriend in the world” I chuckled sarcastically. As the others started talking I set to work correcting all my ring tones.

I was half way through when I got a reply from Neil that read “Yeh that sounds gr8t thnx 4 tellin me txt me wth the details thnx” I read the message with disgust turned to Dante and said “This is just rotting the language” I showed him the text
