Zombies And Werewolves Need Not Apply
He’s sick to death of reading about people who spend all their time reading about werewolves and zombies. He tries to spend at least an hour every day in the bookstore café, writing about whatever else comes into his mind, but—no matter how hard he tries—his fans come in to stand behind him and prod him to wake the sleeping dead, outfit the living with glowing eyes and fangs.
“There must be something more,” he thinks, knowing full well that there isn’t. He turns to confront them, but it’s clear that resistance is futile.
They unzip his skull and feast on his brain.

yech – feasting on brain! nicely written though
Yuk. Now I know why I don’t like horror/fantasy/sci-fi books. Sorry, Ron.
Grim 🙂
Yucky! Though novel and nicely written, Ron. 🙂 Don’t you just love it when and if someone feasts on your brain. It makes you feel like someone of value.
Too bad they won’t feast on the brain parts that your subject now likes rather than those with his old and tired Z’s and W.F’s that he seems to be noted for.

i totally agree…and, i teach high school students. you know how they latch onto an idea…for…ever…
i’d also like to add vampires to your list! 😀
I don’t get the whole vampire/werewolf fascination. Baffles me.
Oh my scary waking moment….such powerful writing that surely will keep me up tonight unless…I watch or read something very…very extremely funny right now! ha ha!!! Great 6WS! Seriously, I’d read more of it! ha ha!
Full story in just a few words. Well done!
Beautifully crafted. Wow.
I always enjoy reading your 6WS — but I agree with the others: yuck re: feasting on brains. 😉
I quite enjoyed reading your work, though I don’t at all enjoy reading about vampires, zombies, werewolves or most other beasties of that nature.
A few weeks ago, I was at a writing group and the one man said that he had left his previous group because he was the only one in the bunch NOT writing in that genre.
Brains……..
