: Vamp the first:
: Ooliberan, who was the ringleader of a fashion cult in Hyde
: Park, Florida. He looked just like a surfer, and all his boys and
: girls were just so pretty. Lots of Adonises and Venuses. Anyway,
: no one except my friend John Vaughan, knew that their little fashion gig
: was a front for a vampyric collective. They had a huge party
: which was actually an attempt to scmooze and track down hunters.
: My friends were the hunters. They knew that I could be a
: connection point so they wrote to me and invited me as an
: 'artist' to come to their big penthouse party. At the time they
: had a book out which had some bold new fashion designs in it. It
: was the Abercrombie and Fitch of the Vampyre community. No
: mortals knew they were any different from them. My friend John
: had seen the book, which was becoming fairly popular around town.
: Anyway, he warned me about it and said that it was sort of like
: an evil magnet sucking folks in. Anyway, on the front cover I saw
: the name Ooliberan flash on and off in lime green letters, and
: then watched as a huge wave crashed across the page and surfers
: periodically rode across the front cover. I had never seen a book
: with moving pictures before. I was curious. So I went to the
: party. I was still suspect since John told me these guys were bad
: cats. So, I went into this room at the party and I found this
: huge crucifix which had been desecrated in many obscene ways. It
: was covered with all kinds of bodily substances and it was upside
: down. I immediately recalled John's face looking into mine with a
: strong warning. So, I sneaked out of there and went back into the
: main room of the house. Weaving in and out of the young beautiful
: crowd I made for the door, but not before Ooliberan caught me and
: locked his eyes onto mine across the room. There was sort of a
: statement made in that silent moment. After this all I remember
: is running through the back alleys of Hyde Park being chased by a
: bunch of beautiful vamps, that were ready to kick my God lovin'
: behind and use me to get to my friends.
: Vamp, the second:
: a more Lost Boysish type, a dark haired, skinny vamp complete
: with rotting skin and stench, made his way on his belly like a
: snake across my front lawn at around 1 am. He had a stupid fat
: sidekick. I freaked and my dad, standing in his underwear
: shivered by the window, not knowing what to do. I said, 'well, we
: need to pray'. I ran into my bedroom and I was praying and then I
: realized those bastards had snuck into the backyard. All I
: remember was thinking they were still in the front yard and then
: feeling horribly violated and running to my window and seeing
: them making their way, still on their bellies, to my bedroom
: window. I prayed for a step to take. Then I saw a religious picture on the
: floor that I had recently drawn. And I covered the window with it
: and then I heard terrible screams. Apparently the artwork had
: frightened them off and they were burning as if they had seen
: sunlight.
:
: Vampyre, the third:
: the skinhead vamp. followed me to Borders from a French
: restaurant. He was dressed sort of like a waiter, but had his
: hair shaved off and when he left work and the suspenders were
: pulled down to his sides, I could see him rolling up his sleeves
: and transforming into a more raw, skinhead version, and less of a
: waiter. He was pissed off. He had combat boots and a very
: frightening set of fangs. I remember ducking into Borders and
: going into their recieving room hiding behind those doors with
: the little window on them. Not long after that I peeked out the
: window and saw him forcefully enter the store, not looking for
: books, but for me. Then he came right up to that door and all I
: could do before he saw me was duck and pray that he not see me. I
: could feel his will and energy through the door. I could feel his
: fingers stroking the door, wanting to search me out. His presence
: was so strong and there was just this huge feeling that he wanted
: IN. Then in a swift action of his wrist the door was gone. He was
: in and the door went crashing into a bank of video shelves.
: People scattered. This vamp laid in on me with incredible force
: and fury. I had so many boots to the ribs. I flew in six million
: directions. The only thing I remember other than seeing my blood
: everywhere was that he was going to kill me. Again, he must have
: known my connections to the hunters. I was laying there on top of
: a huge wire storage cage, with this violent punk kid on top of
: me, only his teeth were those of a pirhana and he was ready for
: some dinner. The last thing I remember was his face drawing
: awfully close to mine.
: vamp conclusions:
: in my meetings w/ these presences, the overwhelming lesson I
: have learned is that they don't like my friends at all, and that
: they think they can use me to get to my friends. Of course, these
: meetings occurred in dreams, but to me dreams are just as much a
: part of reality as everything else we experience. Please pray for
: my friends, whoever they may be.
