Uh...nope, I'll pass on that bite, if it's all the same to you. Besides, who wants to be immortal anyhow? Okay, dumb question, I'm sure there are some out there who probably would. But to have to drink the blood of the living to help sustain it? I doubt it, not without...reservations.
You're right, vampires are quite the rage in popular horror fiction. Both those classic tales of yesteryear, and with the current bastardization of vampire lore with the Twilight and Underworld stories.
Good luck to you in the contest. ~Dean

Dean, thanks for your comments and support. I wrote this just for the sake of writing something for this contest. Since then I have posted Up On The Housetops today, and will post Gallows tomorrow. Just something a little different before I return back to my Country roots again. Hope all is well in your world these days my friend.

I liked your story. It was very descriptive with excellent descriptions and language...at the beginning. As the story wore on, it seemed more of a profile or basic description.
I think I would take out a little history to make a more thrilling or scary ending.
I understand how difficult it is to only work with 100 words, but this story had such potential, I think you can do better with the ending.
Great concept and execution, up to a point.

A very nice introduction to the beast. It had a poetic feel as many of the lines rhymed. I thought that gave it a bit more. Good idea.

Hi there,
I read this twice but it still does not feel like a story. Maybe I am missing something. It feels more of a description or a commentary. Nothing happens.
Sorry,

It is the story of what a vampire's life consists of. Not hard to understand. Thanks for your comments.

It's not that I didn't understand it. I just didn't think there was much of a story to it.
