Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills. |
...as in a title for a series of stories to write this November? Yo: My mind always wanders down paths that others don't dare (mostly because they aren't THAT stupid...). My stories that comprise "Blood of the Garlic" are about vampires... the real deal not those sparkly wannabes or fangs-dripping-blood stereotype. Mine merely have a blood condition that makes them sensitive to heat, allergic to silver and with thin blood wary of blood-thinners... like garlic. Just normal folks who are different. So, I make my characters real by thinking of them as real. If this is conveyed to my readers? Then they are real. So how about zombies? How are they real too? Are they merely super sensitive types, easily wounded, with a defensive mechanism called "numbness". Do they spread this malaise by human contact? A sadness of unhealing wounds that fester... Sounds grim to me. My vampires are so vampy in comparison! Still, I personally have been deeply wounded with bruises that don't show even though they haven't healed. I may be onto a theme for NaNoWriMo... 52,136 |
