Fall, 1996...the year I truely discovered computers, the internet, and a little place called Vampyres Only. It was an odd time for me. It was my second year of college, things were changing for me rapidly and I was trying to discover where I wanted to go. One thing was a constant for me and that was VO. I knew I could go in and talk to friends, commiserate, and just be someone else for a while. I valued that time very, very much.

These days, my work keeps me busy and travelling a great deal so I don't get a lot of online time. I'm glad to see the BRI back up, in any form, and look forward to catching up with a great many old friends.

These were recently buried people who were believed to rise from the grave, walk the earth and prey on the living.

Requiem for the Living

Beside me on the piano bench she sat,
And we, under the watchful gaze of Frederick,
Danced upon the keys.
A language unto itself, but I tried to think of
the words.
To add a touch of intellect to this soulful moment.
I wanted to say, "She walks in beauty like the night,"
But she was too familiar with that.
The Scratchman threw those words at her in folly
Like so many dead roses.

I thought Aeschylus would be better.
With his song of a slain king, or Euripides
In all his cynicism.
