VAMPIRE CHALLENGE!

2007-12-22T23:20:45Z

I didn’t really believe in all that.
I know that’s what they all say isn’t it? “Oh I never knew!”
But it’s true.
He told me “I love you”
He told me “You are the most beautiful creature”
He told me “You drive me crazy”
He told me “I want you”
I never knew just how bad.
It was just a taste at first. I woke up with a note from him saying he left early for work. There was a scratch on my neck, just where it connects to my shoulder, where he always kissed me. I was pale and shaken that day, I took the day off from work. Lifting books didn’t sound fun in my weakened state.
But the more in love we fell the more weakened my state got, until, one gray morning, I felt the best I ever had. I was white as chalk and he wouldn’t let me outside. That’s when he told me.
“I’m a vampire” and as his fangs bared and I faded to unconsciousness I heard his sweet voice say:
“And now you are too”

Sideways Rain

2007-12-22T22:49:21Z

I had blisters now from my lack of socks. It started to rain. I looked up. The clouds were red from the reflection of city lights on a polluted sky.
The smokers looked over at me. They held a small conference about me I presumed. But lately I had thought everything was about me. I started running again.
Flying.
I was tired. No, I was too scared to be tired. I thought the smokers were following me so I picked up pace. Faster, until my boots felt like they were on fire. The echoes were all around. Pounding into my head, screaming at me. They weren’t echoes anymore. They were ghosts.
“You aren’t pretty! Who told you that?”
“Clean that up damn it! You useless bitch!”
“Take that off you look ridiculous!”
Wham. Someone hit me. WHAM ! Again, harder. WHAM ! I was down. My breath flew from my body. My eyes were still open, I was still running. Running? No, flying. I was flying. Up into the pouring rain. Why was it falling towards me? It should be hitting the top of my head but instead it was in my face. Sideways rain

New Boots, New Life

2007-12-22T22:41:56Z

I bought some boots.
But today I was in a hurry. The house was cold and dark. They were sleeping. All of them. I put my feet into my new boots without socks. I opened the door and closed it behind me without tying my laces. My boots slapped the pavement too hard. It didn’t matter that the hollow sound was echoing off of everything. It was too early for anyone to notice. Or was it too late? My brain was so fuzzy I couldn’t remember.
I was lost now. This city was so big and confusing and I was running so fast, through neighborhoods and streams and woods and fields. Now I was certain I was downtown. My untied laces made a scritching sound as they dragged behind me on the cracked asphalt of the street. A group of people were huddled on a street corner around a fire. THey were dirty and ragged and thin and smoke was pouring from their mouths. It wasn’t their breath. Some drug or other probably.
My boots made that terrible clunking sound that makes you feel like you’re 6 years old.
