Bat? Vampire? Both?
Sunlight turns to moonlight on brisk
October nights, the sight of black
cats scurrying across streets, the sound of
wolves howling at the moon, and the smell of dead, damp leaves
seems to get people in the mood for Halloween. This time of year
would not be complete without the fear of a spooky story becoming a
reality. As if people running around in costumes pretending to be
scary creatures are not enough to get the heart racing there are
always stories told that get the mind wondering.
Around
Halloween one must be extra spectacle with whom he or she associates
with. Are those fangs and that cape really just a costume? Vampires
are humans by day but readily change into blood sucking bats at
night. Vampires are impervious to death, that is unless they are
caught in the light. You should be weary if your friend does not
have electricity, any lighting, or a bed in their home. Does the
average human sleep in a coffin or hanging upside down from the
ceiling… If you find you have to convince yourself your friend’s way
of life is normal, RUN, your friend is a vampire. One never knows
when or where they may encounter one of these frightening creatures
but what’s life without excitement and fear? Next time you hear the
sound of fluttering bat wings at your window will you run and hide?
Will you fear the possibility of razor sharp fangs in your neck?
Vampires are impervious to death; humans are not, your life is in
their hands. Vampires love to fly in through open windows at night
and suck the blood from their unsuspecting victims. Next time you
find yourself screaming and saddened by a
spider bite, remember, that bite could be much, much worse.
Thanks to the role the common vampire bat has had in popular culture, people have become quite weary of them. Vampires have played roles in movies such as the Twilight Saga and countless Dracula movies. Vampires are found in modern television series such as The Vampire Diaries and classic television series such as Sesame Street. There are many different beliefs and stories out there about vampires. What I have learned through my research is that many of them seem to be pop fiction but that conclusion is for you to make for yourself.
