D'Artagnon Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 This story has an odd quality to it. It has the feel of a historical epic, gets into details that are enticing yet still beguile the reader to want to know more. The mystery has caught me, for one, and I look forward to seeing what else is in store. Excellent tease, Larkin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larkin Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Thank you D'Artagnon. Omitted from the header is this short synopsis on this tale. Uniquely absent from this story is any mention of the word vampire and most of the clichés like immortality, wooden stakes and religious phobia. What remains is a parasitic blood drinking sub species distantly related to humans. D'Artagnon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve T. Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Thanks for the story, Larkin. I'm glad that Brent and Billy found each other at the end. It's just too bad that Yolo had to die.Nice little story. Thanks! larkin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayn059 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I was hoping Brent would kill Yolo himself. Yolo was evil. He may have taken care of Brent but he also savagely killed the messenger. I got the feeling that Yolo represented temptation and Billy was a safe replacement for Yolo's evil nature. I think a shrink would have a field day with this story. larkin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larkin Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I was hoping Brent would kill Yolo himself. Yolo was evil. He may have taken care of Brent but he also savagely killed the messenger. I got the feeling that Yolo represented temptation and Billy was a safe replacement for Yolo's evil nature. I think a shrink would have a field day with this story.In the first part, there is a line where Brent asks Yolo if he is drinking his blood and Yolo smiles and nods, yes.Then he asks, "If you keep drinking it will I die?"Still smiling, Yolo says yes.Brent love is so intense that he will accept it just as long as he can continue the relationship.It is the result of a charm spell that is so intoxicating that Brent is even willing to give his life.This level of passion and sexual dependency happens in real life all the time, especially when one loves the other more. than the love he is getting in return. It just makes him more desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayn059 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 And deluded. larkin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larkin Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) And deluded.Thank you Shayn, To say deluded is the perspective of an observer. Perhaps you have not fallen in love yet? It is something very different than affection and mutual admiration. Who really is the villain? Is it Brent for allowing himself to suspend his ethics? Yolo for being a murderer to stay alive? or the villagers who want to destroy anything unlike themselves?This a fantasy story and Yolo is a concoction but the emotions are drawn from real life.
