Immortality Sucks

By SJ Duke


National Novel Writing Month 2004 Participant



A love story that bites.

Jakobus is a 2,000-year-old vampire who is damn sick of life. All he wants is eternal peace, but he's sadly immune to all the so-called sure-fire ways to kill a vampire. When he isn't compulsively feeding on his victims, he's trying in vain to get himself permanently slain.

Until he falls in love.

He's carried a picture around with him for 20 years, a beautiful little girl in an angel costume. He found it in the wallet of a man he killed. He was enchanted by her innocence, and the picture has become his icon of what he longs for. Amazing how much his new neighbor looks like that little girl . . .
