Nosferatu

The moon rises.

Stars cover the sky.

I follow you

As you make your way

Up the deserted alley.

Young girls shouldn’t

Walk the streets alone

At night.

It isn’t safe.

I know.

Trust me.

My steps are light.

You don’t hear.

Your hair is swept back

Revealing the soft curves

Of your beautiful neck.

I leap.

You are unsuspecting.

You flinch

But the pain is gone in seconds

As the sweet crimson

Elixir of life

Is transferred

From your body

To mine.
