An excerpt from a short vampire story in progress. Reviews welcome! |
| It had taken me years to figure out that Jessica was as close to a chameleon as a person could get. The girl had so many faces, it was hard to tell which one was real, if there was even a real Jessica at all. I have to admit, the first time we met I was enthralled by her. Everyone always was. She had an unnatural talent for drawing people to her; from the outside, she appeared to be perfect. Jessica was beautiful, outgoing, social, funny, and everything else that society generally requires of its accepted members. She was everything I could never be, or at least so I thought at the time. Eventually I would figure out that I was wrong both about myself and about her. It no longer matters anyhow. Jessica is dead. |
