FIC: Gen: Day 20 - March 19, 1918 (indy)

March 19, 1918

Ned,

I have to tell you about this crazy mission they sent me on. I still am not sure it was even real. In January, I was sent to Romania to find a general who is believed to have attacked a POW camp. I met up with several people who were assigned to go with me. We went to this frightening castle and we found all the POWs who had disappeared. They were all deathly pale and were dressed in tuxedoes and we found them drinking blood from wine goblets.

We started exploring and we saw strange fireballs, heard disembodied voices and finally were captured by the General, who took us all to a laboratory to do God knows what to us! We escaped but were caught and his soldiers, the POWS came after us. Finally we drove a stake through the general’s heart and all the soldiers fell over dead with the most peaceful look on their faces.

Ned, can there be such a thing as vampires? Am I insane? Have you ever run into something you could not explain? I think it is time for me to go home. Or to a sanitarium.

Crazy as ever,
Indy

This is a tale that my grandfather told us every Halloween when we were small and we never believed him. I am sure that the man was really a vampire but it does seem as if something unexplainable happened to Grandfather in Romania.

May 31, 1918

Indy,

Your tale gave me chills. I have read of Vlad the Impaler and this sounds like him. Were there men on pikes in the courtyard? Have you ever read Mr. Stoker’s book about vampires? It is called Dracula. Give it a read.

Many times here in Arabia, I have run into the belief of Djinn or what westerners call Genies. They are believed to be spirits who live in a sort of parallel universe but they come into our own now and again. The Muslims believe in them and even worshipped some of them in olden days before the Qur’an. The Jews and Christians called them Devils.

I wear an amulet as protection from them. I have heard them speak in séances and seen things move unbidden and without trickery on man’s part, so yes, I can believe in your vampire. There are many mysterious things in this world, Indy, more than you or I know about. Just keep an open mind and a pure heart, my friend.

As always,
Ned
