Sparkles and Blood, and other stories

Medea was tearing frogs apart and scattering pieces far and wide, yet no matter how many he killed there were always more. I'd never considered just how many frogs might live in a swamp this size. There was something strange happening inside Medea. His skin bulged in odd places. He'd pulled the stake out of his throat, but only made rasping grunts as he fought. The sheer weight of frogs pulled him down. A frog clawed its way into the vampire's mouth while two of its fellows were being shredded. Medea went to his knees and the frogs almost buried him. At the end Medea's lips formed a word. It might have been 'please'. The frogs burst out of his stomach and the horde poured in.
