Smalltown

Sep 16th, 2024 by thegooddoctor in 100 Words

The thing about small towns is everyone knows everyone.

There’s no secrets. Even people who think they’re good at keeping secrets don’t have any secrets.

Everyone knows who’s cheating on who. Everyone knows who’s sick and who’s pretending. Everyone knows who’s got money problems and who’s being stingy out of spite. Everyone knows who’s going away for a ‘medical procedure’ and who’s secretly having a baby.

Everyone knows who’s blood tastes the best and who’s likely to put up the most resistance and therefore isn’t worth the effort.

The thing about small towns is everyone knows who the vampires are.
