Current Mood:  amused
My friend, Yvensong, has been encouraging me to write a blog. I’ve put it off, not sure I wanted to expose myself to the world. I’ve decided today, that would change.
Yvensong had handed me a book to read and so, I thought I’d start with that.
I’ve just finished reading The Awakening: The Vampire Huntress Legend. As I was reading this little bit of fiction, I found myself giggling at some of the more outrageous themes. Giving them a bit more consideration, maybe they aren’t all that laughable, after all.
Grant you; the vampire population in Reno, Nevada is nowhere as cumbersome as it is in Los Angeles, California. I’m not sure why, but I’ll get to a hypothesis in a moment. It seems that a city that has so many 24-hour spots to visit would be more welcoming to a night creature.
I think the most laughable theme in this novel, along with so many others like it, is that holy objects, even words will wipe out a vampire. {chuckles dryly} I suppose if that makes you feel safer and helps you sleep at night, then so be it. Let me not be the one to dash all your hopes and faith.
I could share with you what may work, but I won’t. I have no desire to be implemental in the eliminating of a species, no matter how abhorrent the species seems to you.
And now, my hypothesis – Reno’s 24-hour spots are downtown. There are lots of people around, but there are also a lot of bright lights glowing all night long. The dark streets of Los Angeles are much more conducive to the nature of a vampire’s desires.
