Dracula Does a Crossword
The next evening, and the evening after that, Dracula sat down to his mug and the same crossword puzzle on the back of the folded newspaper, eternally perplexed at 22-down but determined. “Six letters: Poignant want. Hmmmm.” On the fourth night it finally hit him: “DESIRE! No wonder I couldn’t think of it,” he chuckled into his coffee. He stood, furled his cape, sighed, and headed out into the night.
