The Woman At The Beginning Of Dracula, Specifically The One That Gave Jonathan A Crucifix, Tells Jonathan

The woman at the beginning of Dracula, specifically the one that gave Jonathan a crucifix, tells Jonathan to take it for his mother's sake.

At first this seems like nothing more than a spooky phrase simply there to add to the horror of the novel.

But then, we learn that Dracula has been stealing children from the villagers.

Do you think that woman had lost her own child to Dracula? Do you think she saw Jonathan, a man just barely graduated from college, on his first ever business trip, and saw her own child in his eyes?

I wonder. Would her child be his age if they were never taken?

I need a full-blast desk fan, loud fountain sounds and a massive beverage in order to focus, so to acheive maximum efficiency I simply need to go to work in a hurricaine.

You get a lot of weird requests when people find out you can draw semi-decently, but by far my favorite was the time when my grandma saw an antique quilt that she liked and she asked me to help her pirate the pattern.

Yo ho ho. ☠️🏴‍☠️

This incoherent rant brought to you by:

I'm going to start a highly successful indie electro-jazz band called Two Toilets and the news media will be pressing me to reveal the name of my secret collaborator, but i never tell, because the secret is: it's just me. It was only ever me. I am both Toilets.

Jonathan Harker silently weeps, his doom is now inescapable. Unbenknownst to him, in the belly of the castle, the accursed monster Dracula gently weeps in turn. The horses have colic, the laundry needs to be folded, he has burnt the apple turnover again, and the wives are are making fun of him.
