[100 word horror story] "This one’s mine."

The vampire tightened his grip on his victim’s hair.

The werewolf snarled defiance. He had chased his prey through the woods, and the pursuit had ended at the ruins of the forgotten mansion.

This tension was disturbed by the shambling entrance of the mummified remains of Egyptian wizard Heru, who snatched the village girl from the vampire’s clutches, unseen. The vampire lunged for his quarry, only to be unintentionally intercepted by the charging man-wolf. They struggled, each trying to gain ground ahead of the other, while Heru retreated.

“It’ll be a long night,” the village girl reflected.
