30th Prompt from V Tsuion: A vampire moves to London
A drabble
Vampire
Nothing that's deemed to be secret stays secret,
no indiscretion is kept out of play,
house maids and house guests and 'trusted' companions
spill freely, if someone is willing to pay
over the odds for that thoughtless entreaty,
that youthful love letter, that brief hasty note,
the bill for that brooch,for those two theatre tickets,
that stray light blonde hair on that gentleman's coat.
The life blood is steadily drained from each victim,
he takes all there is, knows which threats hurt the most.
A black shadowed predator striding through London
as heartless and soulless as vampire or ghost…
