"Video games again?" Vera picked up the wrappers on the table, each one more roughly than the next, frowning as Frankie kept dodging her to look up at the screen of the television where a car was being driven by a vampire-istic character as he hunted down humans like they were cattle.
Wincing when she heard a terrifying screech as a human was tranquilized by Frankie's character's comrades, Vera walked past and tossed the bags out. "A Negative Caramel Wafers, Blood Cheetos, O Positive Blood Duds," Vera read as she tossed each bag, one after the other, into the silver rubbish bin. Wonder what else they'll put blood in.
"Damn it," Frankie shouted as his vampire exploded. "That fucking-Where the hell did-Vera! Where's my fucking blooditos?"
"You're out of them," Vera snapped. "You haven't shopped in over two weeks!"
"I just got back from my tour of duty," Frankie replied as he got up and restarted the game. "I've only got a month before I have to go back-I'm not going to spend them shopping!"
"Well, I certainly can't go out." Vera moved back towards the kitchen, a glass of water in her hand and a cup of blood in the other.
"Not my fault you refuse to turn," Frankie sang, his gold eyes never leaving the television where he had started on level one: the farm at Bromley Marks Pharmaceuticals.
Vera plopped down onto the leather sofa, tucking her feet under her. She shoved the blood-filled cup in Frankie's line of vision and was not amazed when she saw him move up and grab the cup with his mouth before sitting back, tipping the cup over, and drinking it.
The game wore on until late that evening.
note: haha, i had a fun time renaming our junk food into something more vampire-approved. i can not even come close to picturing myself eating any of the food mentioned here. and caramel wafers are the best out of all the ones i mentioned (in my opinion). blooditos and blood cheetos-the originality when it comes to naming junk food is still non-existent. go figure. this was somewhat crack-ish, no? but that is the way of the sloths. :)
