The Last Sunset

The Last Sunrise
BY
The vampire Lezza
The sun had begun to set as its warm red light covers the earth. I like to rise at this time much early than most vampires. I wake with a hunger that no human could understand. I hurry to the rooftop to watch as the sun starts to descend. My world begins to take its hold. My eyes sting a bit but I endure the pain as I have for over a century. I notice that there is a paper held down by a rock and close to it are ashes. As I walk closer to the paper I immediately notice the writing. Its from my long time friend and companion Lezza. Without reading the note I know that the ashes that lay there are hers, and the blood tears well up in me. For a while Lezza had talked about ending her life, immortality for her had become dull and pointless. It’s that way for many vampires I have know throughout the ages. Humans of course want to live forever but trust me its not all it's cracked up to be especially watching one by one the people you love grow old and became a mere shell of what they were and die. Sorry I tend to ramble and get lost in my thoughts.
I picked up her note went to a corner on the roof and began to read

"My dearest Drake you have been my friend, companion, and lover for so long. You will be the only thing I miss in this world. I'M sorry I couldn't say good-bye in person you know I'M not good at that." When I woke up last night my thoughts were on Paul my mortal husband, and the life we once shared. It filled me with great sadness so I took a walk by the river. A mortal tried to rob me. His blood tasted so warm as it encompassed my veins. I saw his life as his last breaths were being taken and I think me killing him was an act of kindness. It was then that I saw a couple fighting even though they were a distance away I could hear them perfectly. They argued over the fact that he never seemed to like to do the same things she did. It just all seemed so trivial to me was I like that when I was mortal? The whole world seems to run on such trivial things and it was then that I decided I would end my life! I wandered around town looking at the people, listened to the incredible music of this era. As it got closer to dawn I came up to the rooftop and waited for the instrument of my death to rise. And Rise it did slowly I felt the change in the air as night gave way to day and the entire sky seem to light on fire as if a match had been stuck. Already my skin began to hurt as the first rays touched me. The warmth of it held me like a warm blanket. My skin knew warmth like it never had before. The colors! Drake in all the years I've lived I had never seen such a beautiful site. The pain is getting to be stronger and I know very soon I will be unable to write so here is my final words to you my love. I hope that your life finds those things that I could not, smile when you think of me"
Love,
Lezza

I Held the note to my chest trying hard not to get the blood tears on it. I mourned for the lost of my companion yet I know that now; at last she had found peace and that made me happy. Casually walking back to his enormous flat I grabbed a broom and dustpan and headed back up to the roof. I swept up the remains and walked to the edge of the roof. Then he scatted her ashes to the wind watching it fly in many directions. I decided that tonight I would feed on a male and spend most of the night in the company of a woman. As he walked out to the bustling nightlife of New York he thought to himself never again would he make another vampire against her will.
