Hey Peoples!
Another story up and ready for all you lovely people!
Epilogue
"Being a vampire is wonderful. The strength, the speed, the liquid diet... all solidly in the plus column. The minuses no sunbathing (so?), sensitivity to light (sunglasses fixed that nicely), no real relationships other than those of a transitory nature (call girls!) - are bearable.
"I miss women, though. That's probably the worst of it. No more sunsets? I saw plenty of those when I was alive but I never had a girlfriend since...er... what year is it? Never mind.
"I can't be with a mortal woman, for obvious reasons. She'd never understand what I was, what I needed. I'd constantly fear of hurting her - I can lift a car over my head; so being with a mortal woman is not unlike being with a china doll. And being dead hasn't affected my sex drive on bit. I was a young man of lustly appetite, and while I still look young, my appetite has increased exponentially with my age.
"I've only met six other vampires in my life. Of the six, four were women, and let me tell you, they were complete and unrependant monsters. They ate children. Children! I killed two, but the other two got away. I could have gone after them, but I had to get the child to a hospital and - well, I wouldn't have wished their company on my fiercest enemy, much less welcomed to the marriage bed.
"Yes I'm lonely. Another price to pay for the eternal life and the liquid diet. But I'm young for a vampire. - not even close to a hundred yet. Things are bound to look up. And even if they don't, my patience- like my thirst - is infinite."
