why a Vampire?

well why not?
but yes, why are we totally attracted to of all things Vampires?
is it their looks, not really they are undead after all...
is it there darkness?
perhaps!  is it because we recognize some of ourselves in their darkened troubled souls?
what we go through in life they have lived through centuries, do we empathise with them?
I do believe so...tragic, lonely, abused, misunderstood, strong, determined and passionate...

would that not describe most of us at one or two paticular times in our life?
