What if vampires did exist
What
if vampires did exist
Throughout
the ages, vampires have existed in myth and fiction. In books, movies and TV,
they have ranged from evil demons who kill and drink the blood of humans to
tortured souls who get the blood they need without killing humans. All vampires
have the ability to turn humans into vampires. Some do while others pick and
choose while still others refuse to turn humans into vampires. Most cannot go
out in the light of day while some can. Some can shapeshift. Many can get into
and manipulate the minds of humans. Most do not show their reflection in a
mirror but some do. Most modern vampires are good looking and sexually
seductive. Some are attractive but become ugly and horrific in appearance when
they attack their prey. This is most often the case in movies. Most have fangs
but a few do not. All vampires are difficult to kill, don’t age after becoming
vampires and are considered to be immortal for all practical purposes.
But
what if there were vampires, natural creatures who only appear to be human?
If
you consider the fact that there are many strange creatures living in the world
today and even more who lived in the past, think of T-Rex, it is not impossible
to imagine that real vampires of skin and bone, flesh and blood, could exist.
If they were to exist, what might they be like?
The
first thing that would be obvious is that they would not be demons. They would
be very much alive in their bodies of skin and bone, flesh and blood. They
would need real food in addition to the blood they would need to survive. There
aren’t enough nutrients in blood to sustain a physical body. Looking like the
humans they were before they became vampires, they would be able to live among
humans without being recognized as a separate species. To exist among humans
and get the blood they need to survive as vampires, they would need to possess
some abilities not possessed by most humans.
What
might these abilities be? Most can be explained by vampires having natural
abilities in excess of those most humans have: better eye sight, hearing, smelling,
tactile sensations and overall health and strength. They would have the ability
to create illusions such as those that are done by the best magicians and
illusionist but be better at doing them because of their vastly improved five
senses. In short, they would be the world’s top predator by combining the
highest predator qualities of humans and tigers.
This
is how I have imagined my vampires. In most respects they live and act as
humans do but with one big difference. Being a unique species that does need
blood and not truly human, their morality would not conform to human standards.
They have no more qualms about taking blood from humans and killing them in the
process than a human has in sitting down to a good meal of meat and potatoes.
Read
my vampire novels starting with The Dancing Valkyrie and continuing on with The Vampire Valkyrie, And God Created Vampires, The Blood Red Pleasure and the soon to be published - Mary the Vampire - to learn more.
All books are available from Amazon and B&N.
