daiseechain, this is for you. And yes, my tongue is firmly in cheek.
Build it, and they will come.
The baseball diamond was set in the clearing just exactly unlike a diamond ring laid on green velvet in a jeweler's display case, tempting one even though you knew you really couldn't afford it. The tanbark glistened with chips of mica, glittering under the pale, bulemic moon while the bases shone as black-market elephant ivory does when all the photographers' flashes go off at once during the confiscation display for publicity purposes. One single, silvery white bat glowed at home plate.
Like moths drawn to a coconut-scented aromatherapy candle, the vampires came, glittering and sparkling with delight. Beneath the bleachers lost in moon-shadow, men in camo adjusted their Ray-bans and chewed Chicklets as protection from the musk-and-grape-Koolaid scent of aroused vampires.
Go, girl. A whisper and a pat on the back sent a slender Goth girl darting out from under the bleachers. She smiled at all the incredibly handsome/beautiful vampires. "Hi, I'm Talutah(1) Muhjah(2)! I'm here to throw out the first ball!"
All the vampires knew what her name meant, of course, as they always knew everything that was convenient for them to show off their centuries of experience-- well, when they weren't sleeping in their coffins, so make that half a century per century of existence. Vampire lust-scent squirted out the way goop does when you accidentally step on an uncapped tube of toothpaste. Talutah hastily drew out the ball from under her silver-foil printed Grateful Dead t-shirt (mildly disappointing the vampires who had thought she had three breasts) and tossed it to the youngest, most handsome, and dazzlingly, glittery, vampire of all.
He swung the bat at it, while Talutah darted back under the bleacher, putting on her Ray-bans as she raced, wriggling her cutely rounded bottom as she did.
The vampire sparkled even more in response. The sodium-magnesium bat hit the frozen ice ball. "EEEEEEEE!" His cape caught on fire and he started to fly, but then the men in camo pulled levers and the bleachers tilted down, showing sharpened ends. Sparks flew and vampires screamed, blazing and blinded, flying into the stakes, and burning, burning.
Talutah danced around excitedly as she fetched a long fork and a bucket of Cajun-style hot sauce. "Oh, I just love barbecue!"

2. MUHJAH: Arabic name meaning "heart's blood; soul."

I love this line so much I need an icon of it. I shall make one! (but a bit later as I have to go out shortly)

Date: 2009-06-23 11:21 pm (UTC)I had unplugged the pump from my outlet yesterday, but when I plugged it back in to get out today's water, the pump wouldn't turn on. I suspect water got into the connection between the pump's power cord & the extension cord the guy used & fried it. Ehouse's luck strikes again.
The weather websites all look like a really good chance of thunderstorms for the next 5 days. *sigh*
