Too many people have seen him. Photos and recordings survive as paintings and sculpture never could. Soon, someone will realize that Timmy Valentine has never grown up. VAMPIRE Junction S.P. SOMTOW Then comes the smell of blood, overwhelming his senses. He goes up the steps to the altar where the girl lies bleeding, dying. "I do not want to feed," he says to her; yet, his hunger pounds like an ocean wave. He removes her bonds; she does not struggle now. "You are a virgin, of course," he says, remembering. "They use virgins." She only stares at him, awed, fascinated. "Now I will love you as only the dead can love." He sips the life from her. Warmth shoots into his veins, tingling, soothing. His eyes redden. She stirs, moans, is gone. . . BY S.P.
