Texas vampire

A 16-year-old was walking down a Corpus Christi, Texas street when he accidentally bumped into a man who responded by biting the boy on the neck. Then he flew ran off. (WOAI)

  I saw this on the X-Files.

  This is great! Next, the Texan vampires are going to go to war with the Florida zombies! I can’t wait for the reality show.

    Zombies in Florida, vampires in Texas.  The South shall rise again…from the dead.

  • [CognitiveDissident]

    The pregnant zombies are the worst, they’re eating for two.
    You might be tempted to point them out in a crowd of zombies, but you might lose a finger in the process.

• [Jesus]

  Texans as vampires.  How appropriate.

  BATH SALTS! (The answer to all weirdness.)

• [Robert Drop]

  What else would you expect in a town named Corpus Christi?!  I’m surprised everyone there doesn’t drink human blood and/or come back from the dead.
  (I’m very sorry, I couldn’t resist.)

  • [flosofl]

    I think he meant to be one town over in Sanguis Christi

    zero idea if that’s right, I just wanted to make a riff on the whole body/blood of Christ thing

  The most terrifying part of that story is that it took roughly two minutes for a commenter to link the attack to the Obama administration.

  Bath Salts

  • [zarray]

    Made with salt from only the most unconsecrated beaches.

  Well of course he ran off. Have you ever tasted the blood of a Texan? It’s so oily and tastes a bit… moderate? overtraditional? What’s that word I’m looking for?

• [Romeo Vitelli]

  They ARE keeping a close watch on the victim, right?  You never know what kind of infection these undead creatures are carrying…

• [magicdragonfly]

  I’m not surprised at the 16 year old’s reaction. I’d run off if someone bit me in the neck, too.

  Oh come on. 

  This kid is just being a dramatic brat, something common to his generation. Someone Who is Not My Cousin (SWNMC), was jogging and suddenly this kid shambles, no, lurches onto the path and smacks into SWNMC, nailing him right in the kisser. 

  Being from Texas, SWNMC of course has buck teeth, big ones. When his mouth is closed they’re still there. Bugs Bunny. 

  After the crash, SWNMC asked the kid if he’s okay but the kid just screamed and ran off. After the kid split, SWNMC tasted something salty, wiped his sleeve and  saw blood. He thought his lip was torn, thought evil thoughts about the kid for running off after injuring him.

  So he cut his jog short and headed home. Once home, he inspected his lips in the mirror – no damage. Then he freaked out. 

  It was the kid’s blood. Afraid the kid was some tweaker, he rushed to the ER and the doc gave him AZT as a preventive against HIV, and immunoglobulin. The doc told him to make an appointment with his regular doc in a couple of months to be tested for HIV, TB and Hep C. The ER doc told him the chances for HIV are zero, TB not really likely, but Hep C is a concern. 

  This is what happened. By-the-way, SWNMC is not genetically related to Someone Who is Not Me.

    So SWNMC was the vampire and that’s why the kid screamed and ran off? Because daywalkers?

• [zarray]

  Was the kid wearing cosplay kitty ears?

  Also what’s next? We find out St. Lious is being drained of life by a Lich? A wendigo in Minnesota? Las Vegas is run by the mob?

  wait…

    I’m from Georgia.  We’ll probably get a crappy possessed doll or something.

  Hmmmmmm? When I was growing up, they called these hickeys.

  That’s what you get for going out at night without your wolfsbane.
