Chapter 32

They sat on her bench. Roland held her hand like he was her adoring child. The sun was high in the cloudless sky. A slight breeze sent the long grass at the edge of the road to sway in waves of green.

"The things disappeared after Oscar expired. It was like they got their fill and went home. I forced my way to the door and pushed it open. I screamed at Daddy to get inside. I took a step toward them, and someone pulled me back in.

'Help them,' I screamed. 'Somebody help them.'

"Two men carrying six-shooters ran into the street. The monsters had fooled us again. Three more vampires dropped from the sky. It could have been the same ones, I don't know for sure.

"God bless him, one of those men had paid heed to Daddy's instructions. He blasted one of those things in the head, one, two, three times. They aren't immortal. Their bodies were once human, and sustain damage like anyone. The thing didn't die, though. Can you imagine that? Three bullets in the head and it wandered dumbfounded about the street.

"The other fella, he emptied his gun into the chest of the creature before him. Six shots in the chest and that thing walked right up to the man, who stood terrified and confused. While the two monsters fed on him, Daddy and Fred scrambled to their feet and ran as fast as they could toward the church.

"They might have made it, but Fred tripped over the gun he had emptied into that vampire's face while he was feeding on Oscar. Fred went down, and one of them jumped on him. Daddy didn't think; if he had, he probably would have left Fred for the lost cause that he was. Daddy ran over and kicked that thing right on the side of his head. What Daddy hadn't considered was the thing's fangs were deep into the side of Fred's neck. When Daddy kicked it, its head jerked sideways, tearing a hole in Fred's throat. So much blood, so much.

"Daddy backed away from it, and I screamed from inside the church. I screamed for him to run. He did too. He ran like a man on fire. You can't outrun a vampire, Roland. You just can't," she said, shaking her head.

"Before Daddy ran ten steps, two more monsters dropped into the road. They were on him before he knew they were there. I fought my way through the door, but no further. I was held back, while I watched Daddy succumb to the things. I fought and screamed, but those people would not let me help him.

"They took my Daddy away. He wasn't dead. I could see his eyes move."

Patricia cried without restraint. Roland put his arm around her shoulder. He pulled her to him, and let her grieve. After one hundred years of pain, Patricia surrendered to the grief. Time does not heal all wounds. This one festered for a century and still crippled this woman's soul.
