Syd
"Syd… Syd! SYD!"
The name pounded in my brain. I struggled to pull myself out of the blackness. Images of the past few nights flashed behind my eyelids. Christ! How many days had I been out? And what the hell had I done?
Eyelids shot open. "Ahhh… There he is! I thought I had lost you."
Who was that? "Damn man, what was that shit?"
I manage to push myself up, drag myself so I'm sitting upright in this- coffin I was in? Aww Fuck! Now I've done some weird shit before- but this? Well, at least I'm still wearing my clothes.
Why is this man smiling? And who the fuck is he!
"All answers will come, dear Syd. But first we must get you some food. I'm sure you're hungry; these first few nights are the worst. Eventually you'll come to terms with all this." He shrugged, "At least, that is what my Sire told me."
I am hungry. Hungry like I have never been before. It sits on my soul. Something is missing. I need to feed.
It is a moment of the surreal. I've had this happen to me before. Mind leaves body and starts watching like its some kind of damn movie. Usually it films like a porno flick. This time it's like a bad horror film.
This guy has an arm. A fucking human arm! And there he goes; just tossing it into the coffin I'm sitting in. And now close up, through my eyes. It's sitting there, ripped off about halfway between the elbow and the shoulder. The stump is all bloody and delicious looking.
What the hell is wrong with me? It's a severed arm. If I could manage to tear my eyes away from the soft, delicate flesh of the bicep, I would see the wedding band. But I can't.
The hunger churns. I feel like a lion looking at the lame zebra trailing behind the herd. I lick my lips. Oh shit! Are those fangs?
My mind snaps back into its rightful place. It feels uncomfortable there.
Nothing can compare to this. No words, no feeling. All the drugs in the world, all the nights I've spent stoned after a show, this beats them all.
And there I was, sitting inside a coffin, sucking on a severed arm like it was some sort of tit.
Welcome to the real world, Syd. "Welcome to clan Malkavian."
