Dracula’s Summer Home: Rushsylvania?

Part one: Bo was standing in the middle of life. At least that’s what she told herself. 50.

Winter Season

Piece of work Everything was moving in slow motion. Neither the splinters nor the bullet ever hit the floor. He watched them move, an inch seemed to take years to travel.
