Shadows and Light Page #3

What if you were a vampire alone in the world, drifting through life after a couple decades of uncertainty. You aren't sure what you are looking for anymore. On a whim, you apply to volunteer at a local retirement home for university credit. This story denies both traditional and modern depictions of vampires. The usual, overplayed plotlines of romance and male domination are disregarded in this unique and tender love story.

But she’s there, too. She’s everywhere. And you realize that it’s not supposed to be torture. You realize it’s the pieces of her soul, left to linger on earth, that are calling to you. That even though she’s gone, some of her will always be left for you to find. You never find love like that again. You never find anyone like her again. You never look for a relationship like that again. You begin to realize that perhaps it is humans who you love and that you love them not because of the meager twenty-one years you spent as one, but because you loved her so, so much more. One such a love had been enough to last a thousand lifetimes. Finding someone else would spoil the magic of it. And she deserves to be as magic as she wants.
