Day 6- Monsters with ascots

Living forever is great. I mean sure there are a few setbacks, but I guess that goes with pretty much anything. There is always a price, a price to pay whether we like it or not. I have gone by many names in my time, each one fabricated, made up, and used to help pass along the never ending lie of me being human. If you haven't guessed by now, I am a child of the night, a blood sucking, coffin sleeping, honest to god vampire. So here is the deal. Im telling my side of things after so many years of people taking their own creative liberties with my biology, not alot of people really know what a vampire is, or what they can do. Its frustrating, I mean back in my day we were hated and hunted, seen as killers and monsters. Now days we're seen as sparkly emotional guys who fall for the normal girl. Its amazing what it does to your ego to know that people don't fear you anymore, thats why I'm here to set the record straight, and maybe put the fear back into some of you mouth breathing flesh bags.

First off being a vampire kicks ass, you live forever, you're both strong and fast, and you can pull off fashion that other people would just look terrible in. Such as the ascot. Who in the last thirty or so years has successfully pulled off wearing an ascot? I can think of maybe one or two people, and thats counting that guy from scooby doo. Of course its not all about fashion sense and awesome parties. As a vampire, you get to be the top of the food chain, and to be honest humans are delicious, well their blood is anyways. There is nothing quite like happening upon an innocent helpless person in a dark ally and draining them dry. It makes my heart sing, and even on those days when im feeling down and not so happy, its amazing what killing a few of you worthless sniveling worms does to raise my spirits. We were designed as killing machines, and to tell you the truth we excel at it. It is in our blood so to speak. The night is our playground. Enhanced speed, agility, and night vision help us track you down. In other words, you can try to run but we will catch you, and you will be our dinner. Like all creatures, however, we have our limitations. We are still forced to take cover from the sun. If I were to walk through a dewy meadow shirt less, I would glow for a second until all my skin was lit on fire, and everything I am rendered into ash. There are of course other ways to kill a vampire but telling you those would defeat my whole purpose for writing this. Basically what Im telling you is this, we are dangerous and we do exist.

So tonight when your walking home alone, be careful because that strange guy you see sitting at the bus stop just might be a friend of mine. He will most likely play with you, let you think that you got away and that's when he will attack. It wont be neat like on tv. It will be messy. He will tear your throat out, and drink your blood, then he will leave you there to die. Someone will find your body, and there will be a blurb on the news about someone who got their throat slashed by a mugger.Your friends and family will miss you, and they will all mourn your death. They'll go on with their lives, and me and my friends will go on with ours. It is our place above you and your nothing but blind cattle. You cant fathom living forever, nor can you even understand what its like to be one of us. So give us the respect we deserve, fear us don't love for we are not your friends we are monsters. Monsters who look good even wearing ascots.
