The Vampire

“The killer awoke before dawn…”


The fitful sleep broke before the pounding upon the door.

The victim passed into the realm.

The sickness overwhelmed, and I, …

I watched her precious life fade away.

I hated myself for watching, but who would see the end?

I hated myself---in the eternal night.

The vicious day intruded and I…

I could not, … awareness faded… I almost welcomed...

The sharpened wood came in its time and…

I fought ferociously… something compelled me…

I thought that I might welcome the final rest…

But, there is no redemption for the lost.

I am gone, please… I wanted something else.

I wanted something better. This is not the way of the world.

I deserve the final end.

The… endless… hopeless… despairing scream… Oh God…

Blood… and I want to…

Oh, the endless death…

Why did they not triumph?

The fitful sleep…


“Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain…”
