I really like this one, John. I'm trying to figure out the nonparenthetical
part of the title though. Perhaps I need to read up on the Caedmon and Hild
references? When I think of "donuts", I think of police officers. Dracula,
well, any blood suckers will do. Metaphoric plus traditional vamps.
It's an expansive scene, this. You've certainly covered lots of territory.
