POTATO MOON, Part 24, by Chris Gottschalk

potato_moonWith some of the craziness cleared up, Edwood and Bela
embraced like the not-quite-so-young lovers trying their hardest to reestablish
the early dew-eyed phases of their puppy love that they had become. Edwood stared at
Bela, who stared back at him. If only, he thought, there had been one
spelling of “vampire.” No, wait. “Vampyre?” Oh no…

If only, she thought, if only our lives were as uncomplicated as a potatoe…simple,
but able to take so many forms, each enjoyed by so many people on a daily
basis, from the poorest wage-slave to the richest CEO! (This message paid for by the World
