Food On the Run
Blake watched the young woman walk the city street. She reminded him of his other prey. She peered into an alleyway. Evidently she was lost.
Blake stepped out of his van and followed her for a block. She teetered as she walked. Blake’s heart fluttered. She must be drunk, he thought. She was going to be even easier than the others. She turned into another alleyway. The time had arrived.
Blake flipped open his knife blade. He grabbed her shoulder and turned her violently. Her expressionless, undead eyes met his just before she bit his throat with a moist crunch.
I like the “bait and switch” technique. Pull us in but totally go the other way with it. Nice!

This was the second “drabble” I ever wrote. I wanted it to be snappy in 100 words.
I added more stalking on his part, which I think helped the climax that much more.
