The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Once there was a calculator named Geoff, who had a wonderful life.

He used to calculate sums for his faithful owner, Ben; day in, day out. One day, his owner sat him next to another calculator. Not just any calculator. This calculator has extra buttons with X's, arrows and letters.





When he was put back in Ben's pencil case, he asked Mr. Black Pen if Ben used the other calculator often. Mr. Black Pen didn't want to answer him, so the calculator went to ask the pair of compasses. Being a sharp pair, they were always straight to the point.

They told Geoff that Ben uses the other calculator way more than him.

Geoff got jealous.





The next time Ben took out Geoff to figure out sums, Geoff refused to work. He wouldn't turn on, and when he did he gave the wrong answers for the sums. Ben got very frustrated, and the next thing Geoff knew, he was surrounded by crumpled up paper and rotten apple cores.





After a few days he was consumed by total darkness, and the smell of plastic and rotting food gave him a headache. He wriggled around, looking for someone he knew. After hours of searching he found Mr. Black Pen, drained of nearly all of his ink, ready to take his last breath.





They sat by each other's side, reminiscing all of their experiences and regrets from the old pencil case. Geoff fell asleep and dreamed of how he shouldn't have annoyed Ben like that. He woke suddenly, and realised that Mr. Black Pen had passed away.





Geoff mourned for what seemed like weeks, but after so long in the garbage bag, he had lost his concept of time. After a while, Geoff began to feel lethargic all the time. He knew his battery was running out. He only lasted another day before he finally slipped into the eternal sleep.
