As I look in the mirror, I make a face at my reflection. Today I hadn't the energy to apply my usual mundane mortal transformation. In fact, I hadn't done anything close to maintenance in days. Even applying lipstick would be a herculean feat.
It's a shame. Some nights, I can feel the allure of being a vampire. To forget my life as a regular person, a former human. I remember being alive, feeling the warmth of the sun, the smell of the wet grass, the chill I get when someone looks my way. All of which I'm grateful to leave behind.
But other times, I miss the smell of the sea, the taste of juices when squeezing limes, the way the sound of the guitar and a hearty laugh would rush through me. Long gone, like my former life, no more than a distant memory, leaving only fleeting traces of joy.
However, I am still here. And I'm determined to make the most of it. To own what I am, a creature of the night. To enjoy the pleasures the night brings... going to mall, shopping, gossip, giving presents, travel to exotic countries, eating exotic food and music, drawing, politics, night flying, jokes and cats, especially Dracula.
There are nights where I fly, not caring if I arrive. Where I feel free, and all the stress of being a regular person disappears like dewdrops in the sun.
For I am Mary Read, the legendary vampire in disguise whose beauty outshines the stars. Who relishes every opportunity to shed my human skin and take to the heavens as a creature of the night.
Today will be no exception. The night awaits and I plan on embracing it - Pina Coladas, rain and all. Here's to a farrago of the weird and wonderful.
