But, in the end, they are only glorified bloodsuckers.

Doomed to be limited like you are not.

Doomed to be nothing but nightmares, barely above a feral animal.

You should interview some of them.

It's fascinating how much of themselves they lose while down here in this cruel earth.

A true original is not weighed down by human trappings.

I am the handful of others like me who are still left, were never born or breastfed or swaddled or comforted or spoiled or ruined or corrupted.

As long as there is darkness, we can survive.

It is that simple.

To kill us, one must kill all right, too.

Again, my apologies if this is all too much for that small human brain of yours.

Not to worry, that flaw will be taken care of soon.

Yes, Banner Watson, yes!

Embrace who you are meant to be.

Open yourself to the truth.

I will miss complete freedom.

Only be four or five decades left on your limited lifespan?

That is merely a blink for me.
