Author's Note: I've been reading lots of vampire stories lately. I found a giant collection of them at the libraray near me. It's the collection edited by Otto Penzler. Vampires stories are far more interesting to read about than I originally thought- I owe one of my friends an apology for not understanding her vampire obsession...It's funny, I used to be a real snob back in middle school but now I've realized I like the type of music she listens to, I also like vampires. She's 2 for 2 so far, I wonder what more she's into that I haven't given a shot-
Anyway, this is a quick little snippet of a story I wrote last night, inspired from all the vampire stuff I've been reading about. Its a very short scene, more accurately put, of a story I may someday write in full. I hope you like it!
If you have any feedbacks or comments or idk if you ever wanna reach out you can do so by writing to my email: juniebyowriting@gmail.com

  She lay on the floor in front of me. Her head resting on my lap, as she looks up at me with tearful eyes, her hand clutching mine. Her tears slide down the side of her face as if trying to hide from me but I know full well that she, my beloved, had elected to spend our last few moments togehter weeping, mourning the love that we just lost.

  Blisters formed where the warmth of the sun pecked my skin. She lifted her hand up to my lips and openend her mouth to speak but all she could manage was a short pained grunt. My grip on her shoulder tightened as I pulled her into an embrace, tears finally dropping from my eyes. My shoulders shook violently and an excruciating scream escaped my throat.

  I love you , she said, in a wretched groan. Her body fell limp, her head dropped to her chest and her face turned away from mine. The stake that was lodged in her heart claimed her life, yet why was it mine, whose skin, burned under the sun?
