100 Worder: Bite Marks
Janet Bunce
Bloody Mary – chilled
There was no doubting the marks on the body.
Teeth to be sure.
Some learned local said they were from a wolf.
Another said a bat or maybe a large dog.
Whatever the source there was great discomfort in the village.
Years ago there had been a number of attacks.
Several had died from bite wounds, torn apart around the neck.
Rumours prevailed about a vampire but then it all suddenly stopped.
It was just a rabid dog they then concluded.
What they had not remembered was the visiting freak circus – back again and amongst its performers Countess Marie Dracula.
