The red-head woman was walking around the Montmartre Cemetery, wondering what she could do, since she was running out of cash – although of course she could sell, or maybe pawn, her lovely ruby ring, as she fiddled with her finger.
She had turned left when suddenly she spotted the two gargoyles who were standing next to one of the dead poets graves, as they were busy working on two large easels, wearing artists’ smocks and berets, and both of them were scoffing and bickering (as usual); but then stopped and said, ‘ah, there you are,’ as they grinned back at the red-head woman.
Meanwhile the old vampire appeared, opening his arms and smiling: ‘to you like my outfit,’ as he whirled around; ‘yes, I know, I’m doing my best, although, I know I’m a relic, but I suit and boot quite well, don’t you think.’
‘Now, down to business and stuff,’ said the old vampire, as Joan, Francis and Scatty popped up and join them, ‘okay, we all know about the old building just around the corner,’ as he pointed, ‘and now I can reveal,’ he paused like a drum roll, and winked.
‘It began with the lovely red-head woman who opened that old safe, and then later the two gargoyles managed to read those antique deeds, and then they sent it via courier to me – and that’s where I got it.’
‘You see, it seems I own it out right – and we can do whatever we want!’

Chris, your continuing originality is impressive! As was sort of said in “Casablanca”: “We’ll always have Paris…and two artistic gargoyles…and an old vampire.” 🙂

Ah yes, Paris… I watch Casablanca at least once a year! Meanwhile, the gargoyles and the vampires will run and run (I hope)😊

I’m all caught up Chris and have greatly enjoyed. It starts off with ‘The Goldfinch’ Donna Tartt (which I’m reading just now and can’t get enough of) vibes and then you add vampires and texting gargoyles – what’s not to love!?

So the red headed woman owns the building that those gargoyles are part of. No wonder they are interested in her.
