At all.<BR/><BR/>But your story had me riveted to the screen from the very beginning. <BR/><BR/>An immediate, compelling setting, the awesome "celestial demon" line, the humor (gritted my fangs!!!), the poetic feel (calming black to deadly blue). <BR/><BR/>Then the end, which brought everything full circle in a truly scary way. <BR/><BR/>I kept waiting for the part that would make me say "See? That's why I hate vampire stories."<BR/><BR/>That part never came. <BR/><BR/>Not only did you win me over despite my biases, but I think that this is one of the best stories that I have ever read at The Clarity of Night.<BR/><BR/>Jaye Wells, you rock.<BR/><BR/>I'm going Goth.<BR/><BR/>StephenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-78726865248429105722007-11-09T01:35:00.000-05:002007-11-09T01:35:00.000-05:00oooh, I just love vampire stories, especially ones...oooh, I just love vampire stories, especially ones where the vampires take revange, i.e, Anne Rice.
