Cleaning Day by Susan Nix, Mistress of Silliness Well, you've put it off for weeks, but the day has finally arrived: cleaning day. You put on your worst clothes, pin your hair up, roll up your sleeves and get at it. You clean everything that is yours and a few things that aren't. All this cleaning begins to take a toll on you. You're exhausted and wish you could get this over with. You're down on your knees, scrubbing the floor, when you feel a rush of air in the room and a familiar presence. You look ahead of you, and see a pair of elegantly tasteful italian shoes. You look up, and see a loooong black figure clad entirely in black. You finally reach the face and its....its... "NUNKIES!" you screech. "Indeed it is, my dear. Shall I help you up?" You put your rubber-gloved hand in his, and he helps you rise. He removes the glove, and kisses your hand. "Cleaning is such a dreadful pastime," he begins. "Too...common for one of my followers. I have arranged for professionals to complete you task. I trust that leaves you free for this evening." He pulls a stunning evening gown from behind his back. "I hoped you might give me the pleasure of..entertaining you this evening. Shall we adjourn to my apartment so you can prepare? I have a full stock of Vampire Mango Body Wash...an odd product, but it does leve the skin feeling refreshed. I am most interested in finding out the effects of it on mortals." You throw down your sponge and wrap your arms around his neck. "Nunkies, how can I ever repay you?" you ask innocently. Just before he gives you a devastating kiss, he whispers, "I'm sure I can find a way..." ************************************************************************** That was very....therapeutic.
