Title: Jaded
Prompt: Looking up at a ferris wheel
I want to climb the metal girders.
I want it to take forever.
I want to carefully judge distances between steel rungs, putting my feet and hands in the right places.
I want the adrenaline to whip my nerves into a frenzied rush.
I want my stomach to drop when I look down and almost fall.
But... these things are impossible.
I can climb, but it will be over in an instant, my vampire body precise and swift.
The only thing coursing through my veins will be the venom that drives me.
If I fall, I'll hurt the earth.
Damn.
A/N: I didn't have anyone specific in mind for this one, just a jaded vamp wishing he could still get a thrill out of life.
