Today is my 23rd birthday. It’s almost surreal to say it. It’s no exaggeration when I say I had a few times in the past where I didn’t think I would make it to this advanced age. Guess it just makes me bad at dying. I decide to celebrate my birthday by going to a … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 9)
They lay together on the soft mattress, pyjamas long forgotten in a heap on the floor. Face to face in the dim light, they revelled in the presence of the other, taking it all in.. Louis was the first to move, reaching out to map the contours of Lestat’s face - his fingertips gliding from … Continue reading Barney (Chapter 7)
The night I met the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac changed my life. I didn’t see it at first, but it did. In the months after the concert, life doesn’t change much at first. Winter comes and goes. I still live at Josie’s, play with my niece and do the odd job in the … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 8)
A week later I take Mari out to Rosalie’s diner. I can actually only afford coffee and free refills, but Rosalie pushes a piece of cake between us for us to share. On the house, she says. She smiles and winks at me. I suspect she thinks we’re on a date. We’re not. I still … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 7)
I go straight to my room and into the bathroom. I take my clothes off and throw them into a corner. I wish I could burn them. I can't stand the sight of Josie's torn and dirty jacket. There are blood stains on it. Is it mine - or theirs? I shower and try to … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 6)
It’s fall, the air is a bit chilly and I’m pretty happy about my new jacket. Josie got it for me last week when I visited her and Soso. I spend more time with Josie and Soso now. I still need my freedom, so I never stay long, but Soso keeps asking for “Unkie Lell”, … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 5)
I always say that the night I met the vampire changed my life forever, and I can you hear going, "Shit, Wendell. Your life went from bad to ‘Lawd have mercy, somebody light a candle." And I couldn't blame you. It did. And I met him again. The vampire returned. I don't know if he … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 4)
I keep my promise to my sister. I stay in contact. I call every other week from the diner, and I visit from time to time. Sometimes I only stay for a meal, sometimes a night, sometimes a few days. I was overdue for another visit when I met the vampire. I didn't think it … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 3)
Louis stood by the window watching his “paramour” as Cookie had called him and their pet play in the backyard. They seemed to have, temporarily at least, given up on the mouse and were now chasing each other. For his tiny legs, Barney was surprisingly fast and agile, even though he was still no match … Continue reading Barney (Chapter 6)
Remy was my boyfriend. Well, I guess he was. We actually never put a label on it. Probably were too young for that. Not too young for the rest, though. Growing up, I mostly kept to myself. Sometimes I hung out with the kids in the neighbourhood when Josie forced me to go outside. They … Continue reading The Night I Met The Vampire (Chapter 2)
