Craving for blood? Extra sensitive to sunlight, acute hearing, extremely good eyesight and incredibly gothic. Those are what people these days would categorise the legendary bloodsucking devil, vampire. Vampire, Vampyre or Dracula has been a mythical bedtime story that many parents would use as an easy ticket to make their children sleep.

Too bad for these creatures, I would always and will forever label them as low blood count mentally disturbed freaks. There are no such thing as a vampire, no matter how much the media has tried to get people to believe in. During the oldern days where there isn’t a high tech medical research center, people would always blame all the plagues and unexplainable on the underworld creatures.

During the oldern days, sickness like Tuberculosis would always be labelled as the Vampire’s Kissed victim or Consumption. Why labelled as the Vampire Kissed? This is because Tuberculosis is a disease that consume the body from within with fever, bloody cough, chills, night sweats, appetite and weight loss, pale and extreme fatigue. Thus, many uneducated and desperate people would blame the unexplained deaths and sickness as the work of the Vampire.

But how to explain the acute hearing, eyesight and extremely good physique? Let’s head back a few centuries to where fierce warriors roam and the law and order wasn’t fully established. During that time, men and some parts of the world even women had to be in a good physique to enable themselve to defend and fight for their property and obtain more treasures from their enemies. They had to constantly keep training to maintain their abilities as warriors and fighters.

Furthermore, in some parts of the world, food was difficult to obtain and to store. In accordance to the rate of pollution and monstrous technology that we are facing now, it’s no surprise that we can no longer hear, see and even live as long as our ancestors. Luckily for me, I was able to treasure my time spent with my great-grandparents who were still alive and healthy until they passed away when I was 9years old. My old great grandad was 105 and great grandmom was 98.

What about fangs or canine teeth? Since I happen to have a real authentic pair of fangs with no denture glues whatsoever and a firm DNA in my teeth, I can explain this weird phenomena. A normal gum is usually able to cope with all the correct number of teeth that will grow throughout our lives. Unfortunately, for some cases and in this case mix blood race like me, our gums are too small to properly and comfortably allow our teeth to grow in the correct manner (alteration of eruption).

Thus, when the teeth forces its way to grow out, it creates an overcrowding and forms a strange tooth/teeth that somehow resembles of fangs or canine fangs. In anyway, these pair of fangs irritate and cause a discomfort to its owner mainly when we accidentally bump our mouth on anything. I’m not sure about other people’s teeth but mine is sharp enough to cut into my lips. Luckily over the years, it became blunt but it does once in a while cut into my lips when trauma is impacted on it.

Until I see with my own eyes a being that moves as fast as speeding bullet, lives on blood, gorgeously sexy and good physique records, I will never even want to spare a thought that vampires exist. Let’s just stick to only Queen of the Damn; Lestat looks cute, does he not?
