PETER AND THE VAMPIRES is a horror/comedy web novel (and a free podcast!)about a normal, 10-year-old kid who moves into a sinister town filled with supernatural horribleness. The series is composed of different "monster of the week" stories - kind of like THE X-FILES crossed with THE SIMPSONS (if Mr. Burns were a ghoul and something terrifying lived in the town dump). "Peter And The Dead Men" is the first story in the collection. A new page is posted every day.

The dark side of Dr. V. He pretty much admits it's stealing, and that the phone companies wouldn't want him to do it...but dang, those boys do kinda need phones - they're putting their lives on the line out there!
But it's good to know Peter thought about who'd be paying for them. Now, why didn't I think of that? I'm also glad he wanted to protest against having them.
Ten jumping jacks says the boys lose them by the end of the story.
Elsille - A small rural French village, where they manufacture some rather magnificent wine, cheese, and silver bullets.
Ah yes tinkerers do just make stuff to see if they can. Well at least Peter was worried about how the phones would be paid for. I wouldn't feel that comfortable with them either.
I wonder if he wipped those up after he finished Dill's meds.
Dr. V certainly has a strange sense of morals. So the creation of a "monster", or broader the reanimation of dead organisms, possibly a patchwork of several beings, would certainly fit the "To see if I could" category.
Hm. That's rather ominous.
Lol, I admit, I agree with Dr V: it's hardly going to affect the phone companies' profits to 'piggyback' off them. But is this Peter's slippery slope to corruption? First multiple murder, then stealing from big corporations - where will it end?! I love Dr V's reasoning - "Because I can"! Awesome.
PS: I think the reason no one's commented on the double-page updates we've been having is a morbid fear that you'll suddenly realise you've been giving us twice as much story, and stop. :P
Thus far I really like Dr. Veedermeier. Which is too bad, because given the theme of this story, I'm sure he'll turn out to either have been evil along, or suddenly become evil, or (probably most likely) have unintentionally created evil "to see if I can". *sigh*
Also... I have no moral objections to leeching off cell phone companies' unused bandwidth. But maybe I'm just a mad scientist in the making... Still, mad scientists are way more fun than the regular kind, and if I were Peter or Dill, I would be delighted to join Dr. V's science club!
@ Cat: Shhhh!
Actually, I imagine that the double updates are due to the lengthy exposition. They'll probably end soon. I'm happy with either length; daily is pretty taxing, I bet.
Kudos to Peter for having figured all that out. Sometimes, its hard to remember his age. Maybe the science club would be a good fit for him.
One thing he didn't think about, though, is why is Dr. V so insistant on giving them phones? If it really were to do Grandpa a solid, why can't the boys mention it to him? Wouldn't that be the point of carrying around the phones in the first place?
Rubberduck -
Good point. I'd chalk it up to Dr. V has a very..."pliable" sense of morality.

Ahhh, but do tinkerers steal from multinational corporations just because they can?
Eldoran -
Hmmmm...
THF -
Mmmmm...
Cat -
Haha! Yes, telecom theft of $70 a month at most does seem to pale next to multiple slayings, doesn't it?
misslynx -
Actually, I have no objection either to Dr. V's scheme. I know it's not ethically correct, but I'd probably be more in Dill's camp.
Um the Muse -
Yep, the extensive exposition is coming to an end veeeery shortly...
I see Dr. V giving them the phones the way a grandparent give a dollar to his grandkids. A nice, sweet gesture born out of generosity.
Or...IS it?
DUNH-DUNH-DUNNNNHHHH...
