The Wait
Through the blinds, he saw the sun rays fade and he grinned.
The day was over and he was free to roam the streets, terrorising the town! Oh yes, it would be fun indeed, he thought as he touched his gleaming fangs.
At last, it was finally dark!
“Mom, can we go trick-or-treating now?”
(280 characters)
In the spirit of Halloween, I present to you trick-or-treat!
Maybe I jump the gun too soon.
If you are interested, the prompt is linked below.
About the challenge: Each Tuesday I will provide a photo prompt. Your mission, if you choose to accept the challenge, is to tell a story in 280 characters or less. When you write your tale, be sure to let me know in the comments with a link to your tale. This is important as I have noticed that some of the ping backs have not been working. If you would prefer to post your tale in the comments (some people have very specific blog themes but still want to participate), I am happy to post a link to your site when I post your tale in the Round Up.
From the Window Seat 
Never too soon for a vampire tale. Even if it turns out to be kid off trick-or-treating.
And, BTW, welcome back.

Four or five posts a day … every day. And even I post six a week, and occasionally more. Time was when it was only one.
