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.

Are there any decent cops in Duskerville besides the one Melissa is dating?
I think Melissa is dating a Park Ranger or something. So no, no decent cops.
If I was Peter I'd feel like saying "What took you so long?!" He called the police, they turned up, they heard a gunshot, and did they burst in and go to the rescue? Nooo, they waited till everything was over then rushed in to arrest the survivors. Talk about useless!
The only tiny way out of this I can see is the fact that they were the ones who called the police in the first place, which they wouldn't have done if they were planning vandalism. I don't hold out much hope of the security guard regaining consciousness and backing them up.
PS that mummy drawing's pretty cool!
WV: briesc. Of or relating to brie.
Hopefully Grandfather will rip the cops a new one - Peter DID call them, they DID just sit on their...hands while they hears gunshots inside, and if anyone bothers to pick up the whale they WILL find mummy residue underneath.

Well that's typical, the authorities only arrive to get Peter in trouble for the collateral damage after the deed.
This time there is one definite "proof" however, the "glass" box of the mummy was smashed from the inside.
I originally had a paragraph about the mummy's and Dill's weight and how that should have factored into the fight in my post yesterday, but I thought that as the whole mummy myth pretty much doesn't correspond to the reality in pretty much every way, most physics don't apply anyway (and this specific detail happened several pages ago).
Superstrength theoretically needs several other superpowers to work like it does in fiction.
I am with Peter, at least all three of them are still alive. Poor Gwen had a rought night, and now she might respect Peter and Dill more. Though Dill 'doesn't want to talk about it' anytime soon about what they have both seen.
And this next story could be the most scary so far...
Oh, this really isn't looking good... I couldn't see any way they were going to get out of this one without getting in trouble at a level that would make all their previous problems with the authorities look minimal by comparison, and it looks like that's the case. Maybe the next chapter will have to be "Peter and the Juvenile Detention Centre". :-(

Well, these guys are from Charterton, which is like 30 minutes away from Duskerville. But still...
But consider this: they get a call they think is a crank call in the middle of a snow storm.
One guy goes to investigate. The place is locked down with metal gates.
Suddenly, he hears shots inside. He has no idea who's shooting or why.
Cops surround the place and try to find the people who run the museum to open the place. Otherwise they're going to have to cut through the gate with blowtorch.
Suddenly there are a succession of more shots, freaking the cops out even more. The curator of the museum shows up and opens the main gate to the museum.
When the cops DO finally make it inside, they hear a giant BOOM. They run in past completely ruined exhibits and see bits of what seem to be human remains on fire, with a giant killer whale crashed down nose-first on the floor...
...and there's a ten year-old girl with a gun. And another kid on the floor who across from her.
Come on, now. That's a pretty freaky situation.
Cat -
AW, COME ON. Chief Gunderson is a good guy...and most of his deputies are good guys, too...
And glad you like the drawing!
Rubberduck -
Yes, but unfortunately, NON-MOVING mummy residue...
Eldoran -
Glass box smashed from the inside?
Hmmmmm...
daymon34 -
The scariest so far?
Hmmmmm...
misslynx -
Quite possibly so on your next chapter title.
Wait...aren't these kids like, 11? Why is the tomboy-ish, shooting ace, fifth grade girl wearing mascara?
I know that's not really plot relevant, but it threw me off a bit.
