TALES OF A MONSTER-ONE

I’m a monster. I can’t help it. It’s been my nature for hundreds of years, so why alter it now? Humans fear me, fellow monsters welcome me. I have embraced the darkness, and accepted the dark way of life. Why not revel in it? Why not live it to the full? To those questions i have no answer. But I still avoid human civilisation as much as possible. It is too tempting. Oh too tempting. I strive to be part of normality once more, instead of hiding in the shadows, unwanted, uninvited, and unwelcome. It is not possible, though. I have no control over my never ceasing thirst that continues to pelt me relentlessly with the stones of vampire thirst.
