Nick looked at his watch: 9.45 pm. Oh, he was late again. He thought, “Heck with this project.” It was keeping him in his office until late, as he had to submit it by the end of the month. He came to the parking lot and looked at the flower bouquet he had bought that evening when out for a quick coffee. He wanted to place it on Robert’s grave, who died last year on this day from a heart attack in his office.
He didn’t want to miss his death anniversary, so he went to his grave even though it was too late. He wanted to put this bouquet of pink roses on the grave, as he firmly believed that if he placed flowers on the grave, it will give peace to the departed soul.
In about fifteen minutes, Nick arrived at the cemetery and parked his car. He took the bouquet to lay flowers at the grave of his close friend Robert. He looked at the cemetery and found it strange to see so much light, but figured they had probably done some extra lighting. It was a little too windy that night. He could see the fallen leaves flying all around him as the gusts of wind were taking them back and forth.
Nick entered the cemetery and placed the bouquet of rose flowers on Robert’s grave and stood silently for 2 minutes. Then when he turned back to come back, he saw a little girl sitting on a nearby grave. The girl had a broken piece of green glass in her hand. She was watching in all directions of the graveyard through that glass.
Nick's goodness led him to vampire immortality, @rayt2 . Nice handling of tension and good resolution to the story. I was expecting to see Tina's parents arrive at one moment or another.
The same thing always happens to me. The stories follow their own path.
I think you are a very imaginative writer, @rayt2
I hope you continue to make good stories, getting better and better, with great margins of action.

Thanks so much for bringing us this vampire story with its classic elements, @rayt2. The addition of the green glass adds richness and adds value to the story. Thanks for keeping up the interaction in the comments on other stories.
Ha! That should've been a major red flag for him to get the hell outta there!!
Damn, poor Nick. He was just trying to be nice to a stranger and ended up six feet under. Well, at least now I know now that I would think twice before talking to any strange little girl sitting lowly at a Graveyard :)
