The undead come to visit
The Visitors

Sitting before the fire reading the Bible, the old man sighed with loneliness. His wife had died long ago. He held onto the Word of God. His old wolfhound lay at his feet.
Suddenly, the dog started barking.
"Now, who could that be?"
The hair on the dog stood up with fear. The old man rose from his rocking chair. The persistent knocking had startled him. His cabin was far from civilisation. Visitors were rare.
He opened the old oak door. As he did, the porch light went out!
"Happy Halloween," The tall stranger dressed in black laughed a deep, unholy laugh.
There was the sound of children giggling. Gathered together beneath the stranger's cloak.
"Oh, Of course it's trick or treat. I forgot it was Halloween Eve. I have some candies for the children. I rarely see children, how nice of you." Gab knew the visitor and his purpose.
The porch light flickered and came on. The old man's hound shivered and howled.
"Oh, I forgot the candies for your children."
"We don't eat candies. No good for our teeth." Smiled the stranger.
"My name is Gabriel Smart, what's yours?"
I am Count Dracula from Transylvania. A traveling preacher offering you Eternal Life.
"I already have Eternal Life." Gabriel showed his glowing Bible to the group.
The Count and his children hissed at the sight of the glowing Word of God.
"Oh, I thought I was right, you are all dead to this life. And so you want to feed off my life force. Unusual, you generally choose young bodies for your followers."
The Count pirouetted and rose into the air, taunting Gabriel. His children turned into bats and clung to the rafters. Westy, the dog barked at the bats.
"You will have eternal life in the pits of hell." Dracula spat black blood in Gabriel's face.
Gabriel rose to being twelve feet high, an angel of mighty force. No longer the lonely old man.
He glowed in the face of evil. Stretching his mighty white wings, enfolding, crushing, and destroying the evil he sent to hell.
