Count Steemula Sees The Light

in #twentyfourhourshortstory6 years ago (edited)

The Count was in a deep sleep.
He was outside a pearly gate made of crystal. There were sparkles in the crystal and the gate was very bright. The Count was in heaven but he did not know that. He turned around and saw off in a distance, people sitting at a table. He could not see their faces. There seemed to be a mist or a fog that separated him from them. He walked towards them as far as he could. He could only see their outline but he could hear them they were laughing loud and they seemed to be playing cards. He heard a man say in a deep commanding voice "The tower card"
The Count woke up in s sweat. He could not sleep for days after. Something strange also happened. Every time he ingested even a drop if blood (unbeknownst to Steemopoitans) he became deathly ill. He became weak and frail.
He had kept the secret long enough. He called a meeting with this friends. In attendance was Frankensteem, Steemwolf, Steembolla and a host if other scary friends. After the Count told them the dream they all were silent.
"Say something". They all said nothing in fear if him. They soon departed.
Next the Count sought the counsel if the good elder woman Steemary. She showed him the tarot card the tower that he'd seen in his dream. She told of how his reputation number is 76 and it will soon go to -18 soon. She explained how he needed to change his ways as a leader in the Stemoplitan area.
" Can I change my ways?"
She looked at him and smiled
"Yes you can, but do you want to?"
The Count changed his ways. Instead of doing bad deeds at night he organized surprise deliveries if steem coins. He would transform into a bat at fly into open windows and leave steem coins for unsuspecting Steemopolitans. He had birthday cakes anonymously delivered to select children.
One night his monster friends surrounded his house holding flags to leave on his house to ruin his reputation.
It was Steembolla who came to his rescue. She helped to found Steemopolitan and ha a whole lot of assets.
"If you flag him then flag me."
The monsters murmered and slowly departed.
"Than you. " said the Count gratefully. Steembolla looked at him an sighed. "You look terrible. Drink this. "
He drank the red liquid.
"What is this? the Count asked
Stembolla
" It's pomegranate juice"
The Count began to feel better.
The Count grabbed her hand passionately.
"You know how I feel about you my darling. Give me a chance to win over your heart."
He pulled her close and she let him.
She teasingly said"you can kiss me...but do you want to?"
The Count gave her the Steemiest kiss of her life and more!!
