How do I start? How do I continue? This is the story of my life as it has transpired, thus far. How to make a long story short? Can't. I don't even know who I am writing to. As far as I know, there is no-one left on Earth anyways.
Did the story start when I was born? No, I don't think so. See, long ago something happened to all the humans on Earth. I don't know exactly how or what. But they are all gone. Some virus, I think. Happened a year ago I guess.
Meanwhile, as a bloodsucker, I have been starving for months. And I can't die. So what am I to do? Am I supposed to kill myself? I am not suicidal. And I can't starve to death.
But all is not lost. A few months ago something different happened. I was going along, starving as usual, when I heard screaming. Wow. I hadn't heard that in a while. And there, on the other side of a little mound, I found a child sitting next to its dead mother. She was crying and screaming. I have never had kids, so I could not tell you how old she was, but my guess would be maybe three.
And so what was I to do? The last edible human. She could very well be the last one.
So should I just drain her then and there to quench my thirst? Or harvest somehow? How to grow a child? Beyond me! I guess I had better figure it out.
Meanwhile, maybe I could have just a sip...
