“These pants don’t fit! Evelyn, I look the a stuffed sausage! As much as I love the cruise idea, I think I ate myself it out my wardrobe.” Maurice looks in vain at the silvery metal of the mirror.
“Oh dear, it’s been a hundred years since we’ve five one of these! You have ti diet like the rest of us do. The food is always best part.” Evelyn getting ready in the pigeon hole bathroom.
“Definitely too much Italian and Mexican. I’m glad we’re going home now. These interior rooms are like a coffin.” He continues to try and see himself in the mirror.
“When you get home, you’ll have your own bed to sleep in. Now, let’s go before the Sun comes up and turns us to dust. Stop wasting your time at the mirror! You know we can’t see ourselves anyway.” Evelyn emerges into the room.
When daylight comes, two have vanished. Thirty are found drained from their trip.

Good story Mark. I like the vampire element to it. Plus trying to see himself in the mirror, that tickled me.

Vanity must exist in the vampire world. They start human afterall. It just added to the twist at the end. 😉

It happens on cruises. You do nothing but plan next meal when you’re at sea. I was at a loss on a straight story with the prompt

Hmmm… they turned to dust. I wonder what they are? Great story, Mark!

They may have disappeared first. But “dust in the wind” would have been a good ending. Thanks my dear
