Evan B. (age 23), struggled with this for a year. He was a college senior majoring in education when he was sired. Unable to deal with it, he shunned himself and fled into the wilderness. He subsisted on rabbits and squirrels until he realized that the loneliness of isolation was far worse than any of the implications of being a vampire. Evan declared, “This is who I am,” and decided that the only bears he wished to see were those of the Chicago variety.

He returned to civilization, and after a bit of further counselling, rejoined his friends and family, both within and without the vampire community. He has since completed his degree, was elected “coolest teacher” by his students at Shermer High School, and holds season tickets at Soldier Field.

You are a vampire, but you needn’t be alone.

    Another hilarious character sketch that reads just like a case example from a self-help book. You almost half expect to see a picture of the grinning vampire giving a big thumbs up outside his school.

    If only we had such a picture…
    This is still greatly entertaining without it, though.

    You know, the old scratchy film that were once shown in schools (before VHS /DVD/PowerPoint). I think they still show snippets on some comedy shows of these projectors. While reading this series, I keep hearing that voice as I read. I can imagine sitting in a darkened classroom watching the film roll. ;)

    I literally am laughing out loud, or at chuckling semi-loudly, but since I’m more sophisticated than that, I won’t say (you know what).
