Coming Out 2
“I have something to tell you.” Nina said after she walked into the room. Andrea who was working on her computer swiveled her office chair around and faced her.
“What is it?” Andrea asked.
“I’m a vampire.” Nina admitted.
“Yeah I know.” Andrea replied nonchalantly. Nina looked at her surprised.
“You know? How?”
“Well for starters, you sleep all day and only seem to appear once it’s dark. That’s a bit of a dead giveaway, if you pardon the expression. Also your skin’s always been very pale and cold, and you never consume anything apart from the red “smoothies” you always seem to drink. I had it figured out pretty early on.” Andrea told her.
“You did? I thought you’d be terrified.” Nina answered.
“Nah. Just remember you’re my friend, and nothing can change that. I certainly don’t hate vampires or anything.”
“Thanks. You know I’ve always wanted to drink your blood.” Nina told her. Andrea screwed up her nose.
“I’m flattered, but sorry I’m not into that vampire stuff myself, but I’m always here if you want to talk.”
“Okay. Can we hug?” Nina asked.
“Sure!” Andrea replied. She stood up and the two of them hugged. Andrea suddenly felt Nina’s fangs on her neck. “Oy! No means no!”
“Sorry.” Nina replied backing off.

Near the end of last year I wrote a story called Coming Out. I decided to rework it. It explores the same idea, but in a different way.
I may have been exposed to Covid on public transport recently. I was wearing a mask and I have been vaccinated, but you never know. If I suddenly go quiet for a while, you know why.
