Vampires Convention

Black fumes with strong odor of strange concoction greeted us, an old man with white flowing hair stood across a table with an assortment of strange items in front of him. I sat in the middle of extremely ugly-creatures, appalled at the kind of faces who greeted each other as if it was the most normal things in the world to have contorted faces with blood spilling in all places. The stench of age-old blood mixed with some fresh blood gave me fever and I wanted to go out, vamoose from that place with an accelerated speed but the hard stare of the Old man held me captive in that room. After what seemed like eons of eternity, the Old man spoke with a voice of steel that made the air in that room freeze but it failed to solidify his venom spat in our direction. "What did YOU do after getting up from your grave?" The exaggerated YOU thrown in my direction sent a chill down my spine, "I….I…,"I stammered feeling stupid and at the same time unable to comprehend my roles and responsibilities as a Zombie. Well, it is not everyday that we get to play this role. "Don't FORGET how you died and WHY I had to bring you back like THIS!" He banged hard on the table as if he did me a great favor by bringing me out of grave and I cast a quick glance over my body to find half of my face rotting, the skin sagging and wrinkled, my hair unruly and unkempt, my nails long and curved like a claw of some creature, eyes bulging out minus its eyelids; if there was ever a time in my life time that I felt like becoming invisible-it was now. "I wouldn't be seen dead like this, forget about meeting any other creature," I wanted to scream, but, wait a minute! Who am I kidding? I'm dead and this is my new look.

For the next set of eternity I sat as each zombie/ vampires call them whatever you want to, gave an inventory of their evil deeds. Since I was just born, I mean dug out of the grave I was given orientation of what a zombie is supposed to be doing, so LOOK OUT! HERE I COME WITH A ROLE TO PLAY!" (As soon as I fulfill my first I'll report here.)
