I'm not from the US but did you guys have this story about a lady who was slowly dying unable to get up of bed and his husband had no idea what was happening and when she eventually die, he finds a huge tick on her pillow that was sucking all her blood. Or maybe this other one about a child who constantly complains about his sister to his mother and the mother gets really angry every time and prohibit to talk about his sister, so the girls keeps hating her brother and being evil with him because she thinks is his fault their parents don't love her anymore, so one day she plans to drown her brother because then he will have to sleep in the wood box in the ground just like she has

[@yatomcyato6459]

Good idea. Though, teeth are important to look at with people who smile. If their teeth are yellow and coarse, it’s likely they don’t have a lot of time for good dental health or drink a lot of coffee. If their teeth are completely white, they’re lying. Nobody has completely white teeth. If they’re grayish, the person doesn’t drink caffeine but has very good dental hygiene. If their teeth have a red tint, they just gave horrible dental hygiene that makes their gums bleed. You may think red teeth are cannibalistic signs, but think about it. When you eat steak rare, your teeth aren’t stained with cow blood. So all I’m saying is to never trust a perfect smile, because if it’s too perfect, it isn’t human.

[@PerkyHedgewitch]

Ooohhh, that was great! Well written and an excellent twist! I love it when there's a sudden pivot in the story and you notice details that point to the eventual surprise. With the unnamed narrator was revealed as a vampire, the mention of his having been invited in took on a new meaning. In a lot of European vampire folklore traditions vampires can't enter a home unless they've been invited in. They'll adopt the disguise of an old, frail man or woman to trick people, especially if the weather is bad. The difficult thing for them to maintain the disguise long enough to not tip off their host. Also, one of my favorite parts of these videos is Ryan's evil goblin laugh at the end ^ _^
