Sometime things just write themselves.
So the other day in the dead of night get ready to run errands, I like I normally due. (Honestly not a fan of going to the store during daylight hours unless it is necessary.) As I turn my key to lock my door I sense a lurking presence behind me as if someone was watching from a far. My neighbor across from approached me. First he said that he did not mean startle me. I just looked at him with a face a mere annoyance with a prediction of his words to the letter. I greet him cordially asked how he was doing this fine evening. He proceeds to talk to me about how he is doing well. Then proceeds to talk about how he looks young for his age, and then proceeds to ask how hold I think he is I guess and he looks a little shocked about accurately I guess his age. He turns the question to me ask me mine. I say to him "That is a number the woman does not give away lightly and if you where guess you would be mistaken."
After asking me my age he proceeds to explain to me how he is a vampire. At this point I cock a brow thinking "Oh, really". He explains that he is a vampire because he works at night and sleeps all day. In my mind I think "just because you choose to work at night does not always make a vampire."
He continued to about his day as I look at my watch to catch the time. Then starts talking about we have a lot in common with each other. This has now peek my interest a little bit more because I wanted to know what commonalities that thought we had. He starts be saying he loves to read and he noticed that I do as well. Which I nod in agreement that I due indeed love to read. He goes on to say that he loves to cook and would like to cook for me sometime. Then proceed to list of do you eat this, or that I continually say no. For me his approach is becoming more hilarious by the moment.
As he continues to press on with questions. Which I answer with silence or a "no". Towards the end he mentions that I am to smart for these guys around and need to get with someone more mature. Then proceeds to formally ask me out on a date. I tell him "that he invitation does not appeal to me and I must regretfully decline. And that all generalizations are dangerous" With a perplexing look he asked me what I meant by that. Which made me wonder "what does he read?" All I do is smile and proceed to nod and " Say have a good evening" I as I walk down the hall to go out into the night. He tells once again that he is a vampire as I vanish from sight with a smirk thinking "if he only knew".
The next day I tell my friends what transpired. They proceed to ask what does he look like, who old he is, the usually questions I answer with them which makes them laugh uncontrollably. I answer a lot of their questions with this statement "he is older than my father and age has not be very kind to him" Then I told them the on other thing that he told me that "he was a vampire" with all the reason why he thought he was. One of my friends looked at me and stated "From what it sounds like he has never met a vampire or a goth until now. If he only really knew you". I and could not agree more.
There are lot of musings that go on in my life but to some it may appear as fiction something out of a movie. I will you let decide. But as for this part is fact.
I am to some so goth that God decided to make me black (no pun intended). For to see me is see what the world does not think of when they think of goth, but to me it does not matter for my passions at my core define me more than my outward dress. But at the same time it can been seen by others from the outside and they try figure what type of Goth am I. I respond with the simple answer "I don't belong to any age or era." For my age unless spoken allowed is always shrouded in mystery. Oh how I love the guessing game. My art of perception and my strength dumb founds people but if only they knew I came from. Most people trust me with people trust me with their deepest desires and secrets when I approach for my gaze from I have been told for a woman is mesmerizing beyond description.
Fact or Fiction let the you decide.
