You guys won't believe me when I say this, but I think I met a REAL vampire today! ...er, tonight.

We usually close up shop around 6 PM, but stay for an hour or so to cleanup. Around 6:30 or so, there was a knock on the door though...

My dad went to peer at whoever was there, and then briefly stepped outside to talk to them. I could see from the window there was this one guy- he had every staple vampire feature there wasy. He looked like he was in his mid-20s, but he was super pale, seemed super tired, had his hair tied back in a ponytail, and he was wearing a full suit and tie (he actually reminded me of Louis from “Interview with the Vampire”, but the book version, not the movie version). His eyes seemed red from some angles and I SWEAR he had fangs when he talked!!! He had a jet black BMW with super tinted windows. The only thing that didn't scream "undead guy" was a huge nasty dent in his batmobile. He and dad talked for a while and he left, looking really upset.

When I asked my dad about him, he even said he was a little odd, and he doesn't really believe in monster crap himself. He was apparently in a hurry and needed to get his car fixed ASAP, but he kept haggling my dad for appointments during the night or something cheaper...

I hope he comes back- not that I want to get my blood sucked or anything, but I really think that he was a vampire. I mean, why else would he need an appointment at night?! I wonder if he'd be open to an interview... (pun inteneded, of course ;) )
