Yes, I do stay awake until 5 A.M. or 6 A.M. on the regular and find the shadows of the early morning look weird, but I am not a vampire. Yeah, I’m always complaining that it’s too hot outside, and tend to see a lot better in the dark than most people I know, but I am not a vampire.
Okay, yes, I have, on occasion, mentioned the odd (probably placebic) feeling that my teeth are both bigger and sharper in my mouth when I get hungry, and will regularly eat straight up meat in huge quantities until the sensation stops.
But I am not a vampire.
Yes, I can walk or move quietly to the point of scaring people when I seemingly show up behind them out of nowhere. And, yes, I can hide in plain sight, sometimes to the point I question how observant the average person is.
And, yes, I’m told I have striking eyes when I take off my glasses, and I’m partial to cranberry juice when I can get ahold of it—and only stopped because it’s too sugary.
My skin may be pale. I may wear a hoodie all the time in public. Dogs may get very curious about me whenever they see me.
But I am not a vampire.
Because vampires don’t exist.
Makes me fun at parties, though, I guess.
