The Vampire's Lament
From a delicate kiss of your lips, you snatch the life from a new victim. You let their body slump onto the bed and sit beside them. You gaze at them; in the past, you would have torn them apart, driven by your uncontrollable thirst for blood; or so you think. You've lived through so many seasons that you've lost the sense of what the past truly is. Now, the blood seeping from the corners of your lips no longer has even a hint of its old effect; it's just sustenance.

Sing, Unburied, Sing
“Growing up out here in the country taught me things. Taught me that after the first fat flush of life, time eats away at things: it rusts machinery, it matures animals to become hairless and featherless, and it withers plants [...] since Mama got sick, I learned pain can do that too. Can eat a person until there’s nothing but bone and skin and a thin layer of blood left. How it can eat your insides and swell you in wrong ways.”

Pillology
The tray was not well-arranged or organized, but that was why he was here. The pale lavender ones were perfect for Monday mornings; something in them gave his head and heart a little jump-start (better than coffee; much better).
