Week 14 (29.12.08)
66. sun
Mick PG13
Even through the trees the sun beats down, too hot. I've been trying to concentrate on Josh but the heat of the sun, the scent of blood in the air and Beth's desperation is getting to me. The longer I'm exposed the more I think… what could it hurt? My eyes linger on his jugular, on my blood stained hands. He's not going to make it, no matter what I do. Even if I weren't a vampire I'd know that. I've seen too many men die in the war. I see it in his eyes as he speaks to Beth.
67. moon
MickBeth PG13
They stand on the ship's deck and he stares into her eyes, love shining back at him. Since he met her again, she has become his life and since he has become a vampire the moon has become his sun. She's beautiful in it. Its silver light shines down around them and it makes her hair shine, a halo for his own Angel. The reflection of that moonlight in her eyes mesmerizes him. The moon controls him as it controls the tide. He couldn't stop himself if he wanted as he's drawn to her, moving in to capture her lips.
68. stars
Tierney Taylor PG13
People think that we Hollywood stars have it all – fast cars, friends, money. We can do anything we want; go anywhere we choose. I suppose that's all true enough. I have the car. It's hot but I bought it to outrun the paparazzi that follow me whatever I do and wherever I go. Almost all of my 'friends' are only with me because of my money or to be seen. The money's nice, but sometimes I wonder if it's all worth it, with everything else.
People think being a star gives you freedom. It just puts you in a cage.
69. clouds
Josef PG13
The view of farmland below is obscured with white clouds. I've spend over three centuries with a ship, horse and, later, a train my only forms of transportation. Now I couldn't imagine my life without my car collection or my private jet.
The car wasn't that much of a stretch, especially with the industrial revolution, but who would have thought humans would fly? Back in my day, the answer to that was no one, at least not if you knew what was good for you.
Too bad visionaries like DaVinci weren't able to see their ideas become a reality. Unless…
70. planet
Josef PG13
400 years I've been on this earth. Through all that time man has been fighting each other for more of it. Vampires kill for survival. Humans kill for money and power and glory and land. At the same time, they do everything in their power to destroy it, as if they expect to lose and don't want to leave the enemy with anything useful; a wasteland as spoils for the victors of war.
I thought I'd live forever but now I wonder if I'll see 500. Even vampires need a healthy planet to sustain our food.
Now who's the monster?
