Renfield's Rescue

Dracul Van Helsing was sitting in a London pub called The Crown and Anchor eating steak and kidney pie.

One of the TVs in the pub was tuned to BBC-News.

The announcer intoned,

"And in other news, Renfied R. Renfield an executive with London-based Set Enterprises was rescued from a burning dirigible over the erupting Icelandic volcano. Renfield along with noted concert pianist Amadeus Emanon were rescued by an Icelandic farmer and his turkey..."

"Amusing, isn't it?" The Vampiress Morgana appeared next to Dracul. She was wearing a Metallica t-shirt and a short denim skirt.

"Couldn't happen to a nicer guy," Dracul smiled at Morgana.

"Too bad he survived," Morgana sat next to Dracul.

"It is," Dracul nodded, "I'm glad Amadeus survived. He's all right."

"I like Amadeus," Morgana agreed.

"What caused the tiff between you and Renfield?" Dracul asked.

"I'd rather not say," Morgana shook her head.

"Renfield rubs a lot of people the wrong way," Dracul admitted.

Meanwhile over in Iceland, Renfield suddenly found himself being attacked and pecked at by the Icelandic farmer's turkey.

To be continued.
