Evening
“Let’s go out tonight and paint the town red!” exclaimed Zana.
Krystal smiled. When Zana mentioned painting the town red, she sometimes meant it literally, given her proclivities.
“You planning to go out and have fun, or go on a killing spree again?” Krystal asked.
“The two aren’t mutually exclusive.” Zana pointed out.
“Yes, but killing loads of people ends up being rather messy doesn’t it? Maybe we should just stay in and order some room service.” Krystal suggested.
“Now that’s a great idea! The staff here look very tasty!” said Zana enthusiastically.
Krystal rolled her eyes and sighed.

Once I thought of the phrase “paint the town red” I then thought of vampires.

I suppose they could also possibly be werewolves. In my mind they were vampires when I was writing it. The draft I wrote had “as she was a vampire” rather than “given her proclivities”. I changed it as I preferred the line and it gave more mystery to it.

Proclivities is also a FANTASTIC fucking word. Use those $5 words whenever you can, you know!

I am little disagree. Our friend Mr Vlad once said ” blood is precious” and I believe it. So I will ensure not a single drop is wasted therefore paint the town anything but red.😉

That’s not how I usually think of painting the town red, Joanne.
