You want to try a lover's embrace to break the curse, yes? Sorry - this analogy was about grapes, but now it's about wine. I wouldn't even need personality or common sense to draw in my victims. Sssparkle in the sun? No, but what a marvelous thought! I could be the most fabulous predator alive.There had been an influx of cowboys though, claiming I am in their boots. One silver lining is that no one uses garlic to repel sssnakes.When do we share blood and help each other seduce prey? I mean what else are friends for? Does that make us friends? How delicious.Returned for me? I must admit, I find your attempts to amuse me.Be a dear - fetch me a maraca and masking tape. I saw a Diamondback rattlesnake at the zoo, and I can't get that glorious sound out of my mind. Last night I couldn't sleep so I slithered through the damp evening grass and found my thoughts fixated on mice."Stake through the heart, and you're too late. When I was a "young" vampire in the '80s I briefly sang in a rock band.I might even like you enough to share some of my sssecrets. I find you moderately easy to talk to.I am centuries old - the sweet kiss of surprise is long dead to me. If you insist on giving me giftsss you need not wrap them.It's so wonderfully, dreadfully isolating. My world was once filled with rapturous mortals, racing to embrace me.A faint sense of warmth passes over you, and then is gone. How sweet it is." He doesn't say anymore. Contemplating the leaves beside a 'friend'. The term seems infantile, and yet here I am. As you walk, and Stirling slithers, through a familiar park, you catch him chuckling to himself.Come to think of it, I do not hate having you around.Each time I toss you aside you're right back in front of me. You have become somewhat of a human boomerang.But joy is fleeting, and becomes less frequent as time goes on. In my many years, I have indulged in many pleasures.Spinning faster and faster until you take off like a sparkly helicopter. Before the transformation, my only pleasure was ice skating. Wasn't that thoughtful? It is rare that I hear a genuinely original compliment. A wandering ghost said that I would make a handsome pair of boots.

Draw closer, and speak to me as though I were a lover.

Not only am I a venomous snake, but a vampire. If you do change me back, I hope it's a habit that doesn't linger. I see a mouse, and I strike! But halfway through draining it's blood, I. I passed through a garden today, and convinced the inhabitants to eat an apple from a very special tree.What you have taken from me is enough to drive an immortal mad with grief. My wounds are deep, and my pain is endless.

For I know you are the architect of my sssuffering, and that alone would be reason enough to kill you. You are very brave to come to me, little one.Doing nothing to diminish my thirst." Looks like you've got a Vampire on your hands. "My kind can take many forms, but it seems I have been cursed into this one. An icy dread passes over you, as you inquire if the whole "snake thing" is new.It's one of the Man-imals, but this one is. The snake smiles in a way that makes you aware you are in terrible danger. Until a voice begins to whisper, "There's nothing so lonely as the starsss." You sit up, startled, and come face to face with a snake.At the end of a long day, as the sun sets and the sky begins to sparkle in starlight, you lay in solitude and reflect on how far you've come. Having turned over every leaf, as well as the odd pine needle, you feel as though your journey may be coming to an end at last.Stirling appears to be a stereotypical vampire, but with a passion for ice skating.
