A Poisonous Addiction

A week ago it would have seemed inconceivable that vampires even existed. But now… I’m not so sure. I have been talking to a friend about blood. For a while we both pretended it made us feel sick to our stomachs. But then I took in a big breath and said “Have you ever tasted someone’s blood?” He said yes. Then I asked, “Do you believe in vampires?” again he said yes. Then he said, “I am one.” I hesitated then said, “Me too.”

Just to clarify, vampires do not have fangs and don’t die in the sunlight. They don’t live in coffins or turn into bats. We just love the taste of blood. It is an addiction. We are vampires. . .
