If you're not watching the Superbowl, you might enjoy my super-short, non-Superbowl story, "My Dinner With Joe." For years I thought it was a Superbowl memory...and if you read it you'll know why. diannethomas.godaddysites.com/joe

A haunting waltz echoes through the ballroom.
A single chime at midnight. The dancers freeze.
The vampire leaders ascend the sweeping staircase,
cloaked in silence, crowned in death.
