Inspired by human nature and contest title! Happy Halloween! There’s evil in all of us, mused Lamcoruno, the vampire. In every human, animal, living being, it’s just that some embrace it more than others, and in different ways. After all, not everyone has murder in their hearts, even though we would all like to kill someone occasionally, only very few actually do it. We are a funny race. He wiped away a dribble of blood from his mouth. His victim lay in the middle of the cold, hard, stone floor, on the top floor of his castle. It was a typical gothic affair, with glass leaded windows, no central heating, and candles as the light source. She was on her back, mouth opened slightly in surprise, eyes wide. A pool of blood, which was clotting around her, dyed her white nightdress pink. There was the tell tale sign of two puncture wounds in her neck. God, she tasted good. Young, she was what could be described as a fair maiden, though Lamcoruno actually preferred brunettes, but when he was really hungry, he wasn’t fussy. Her flesh was still firm, unlike some older people who he had feasted on, they had tasted like, and had the texture of leather. But still his stomach rumbled, he hadn’t had a good meal for days, and his body was telling him so. A wolf howled in the distance. Lamcoruno looked out the window, as grey clouds cleared to reveal the full moon in the inky sky. It was midnight. It was time to go hunting again. Word Count 253
