"There are no such thing as Vampires, regardless of what this maniac may claim. I guarantee you he is just a man like every single one of you", the voice on the television stated. I'd heard it all before, hell I was the one who said it. I knew I couldn't possibly be running against a "vampire", the man was just insane; how could I possibly lose to the nut-job?
I clicked off the TV and the image shrank back down and disappeared with a flash, leaving the room completely dark. I deftly walked through the pitch black room, I could see well enough in the dark, and I had lived here for almost a decade.
"But what if I did lose?" I thought, "Could he possibly beat me?"
Nonsense of course, the man claimed openly to be a vampire. There was no way he could possibly win.
"Personally impaling people?!" I spat, "The man must be insane if he thinks he can win with such an outrageous goal! How could I think such a lunatic might beat me?!"
I left the dark study, maneuvering through the thick fog of darkness with impeccable skill. "Besides, he's an independent, for a 'Vampire and Witches' party! It would be a joke for anyone to vote for him!"
I opened the double-door of my study and walked out into the main hall of the house. On either side of the hall opened arches lead into various rooms and wings of my house, while the main staircase spiraled upwards towards the domed ceiling above, stopping at the landing which leads to the bedrooms of the house.
I stared directly across the room, at the giant picture window that revealed the night sky. A full moon illuminated most of the sky, yet many other stars dotted the great emptiness before me. "No, he couldn't possibly win", I said, gazing at the stars and moon above.
It was nonsense, really. This whole election business was a joke, I wouldn't lose, I wouldn't let it happen. I could gain enough support regardless who I was running against.
I didn't need to doubt myself, I knew what I was able to do. "Ha!" I laughed "Why do the even bother with voting?! Its not like anyone will ever be able to beat me!" As I my voice reverberated around the giant room, echoing off the ceiling so high above, and I suddenly became aware of how alone I was.
I preferred the loneliness, the darkness; it's so much more comforting than having to put up with people. People are nothing more than objects to be manipulated, and I couldn't stand to deal with them when they didn't serve a purpose. Maids, cooks, secretaries, managers; all the same. Just cattle, here to make sure I look good, to be used by me.
A satellite blinked as it floated across the sky, and I felt oddly calmed by this intruder in nature. How odd, yet perfect it was in its environment. Flashing with a light that outmatched the stars, and capable of doing so much from its position so high above the world.
Reassured of my power over my position, I turned away from the sky and began to ascend the stairs towards my master bedroom. Half way through my ascent, I felt a breeze at my back, and I turned to face its source. The main door, opened wide.
"Is someone in the house?" I thought as I walked towards the door. As I reached it and went to close it, I noticed footprints leading into my house. I slammed the door, locked the deadbolt into place and turned to face the darkness.
"An intruder... How... excellent" I thought out loud, as I turned and began following the tracks. They lead upstairs, and from the landing I noticed a door was open down the hall. My door, my room.
I walked over to the door, and strode calmly into the pitch black room. Shadows filled the room, and I could barely make out the furniture that I knew to fill the room. As I looked around I noticed the closet to be open.
I walked slowly past it. I knew where he was, I had no reason to be afraid of him. Whoever was in the house was about to be in for one hell of a surprise.
As I walked past the closet a figure walked out behind me, and grabbed me. "No such things as vampires? You think I'm crazy don't you!" the voice came, as a knife was thrust against my throat, the cold metal drawing a thin line along my neck.
"Now, I never said vampires aren't real..." I began.
"BULLSHIT!" He yelled at me, "I saw you on the news, claiming I wasn't a vampire, you don't think I can beat you do you?!"
"No, you can't beat me" I stated flatly. I knew this maniac didn't stand a chance. I knew he wouldn't make it to the election.
"Well, how can you beat me if you're dead?" He threatened, pressing the knife harder against my throat to the point a drop of blood tricked down from the cut.
"I'm quite certain I can" I replied, snatching his arm and twisting it around and I felt bone cracking and popping as the arm came lose from its socket. He shrieked, and dropped the knife from his now limp arm, which I calmly reached down and picked up.
"Now, you said I don't believe in vampires, you have no idea how wrong you are" I said, grinning, revealing to him my canine teeth, slightly larger than what he expected, I was certain.
A look of horror appeared on his face, and I snatched him by the neck and drew him close to me. "Now, what were you going to do with this knife?" I asked, running it along his cheek. "Perhaps you planned to kill me?" I laughed, realizing how much of a joke that was.
I licked the blood off of his cheek, and smiled at him. "Now, perhaps you would like to find out what real vampires are like?"

If you were a vampire I wouldn't want anything to do with raging hard-ons and biting peeners.

"Eat all your greens young Jacob or the homo vampires will cum on you in the night"
It'd make an ace book, the front cover could be some dude biting on a pair of bollocks and you could title it 'blood pudding'.

Do you know what I think the vampire thing needs more of? passionless homoerotic imagery. I mean technically they see meatbags as food so technically they wouldn't be bothered about gender so you'd get just as much man on man action as otherwise. I think it would add depth to the genre.
------------------
Please tell me you're not being sarcastic, if I ended up writing something that has homoerotic vampires I need to stab my eyes out.

NO, he's not being sarcastic - although it does make sense...if "I" was a vampire, "you'd" want to give the guy a raging hard-on, and then bite down on a nice, blodd-engorged peener...

That's a bit of an extreme response, isn't it? After all we're talking about injecting a little life into tired and unoriginal subject matter, not meat into your arsehole.

Michael Howard is a vampire too. And he never won a general election.

Constructive criticism:
Storyline was undeveloped.
The twist was obvious.
This did not make me smile, or ponder or anything.
Reviewing this post is actually making my head hurt.
"Don't bother" makes with a vague and unsupported threat of violence is about all I can come with at the moment.

*threatening menaces with the back of a hand - "Do you want to a taste of the hairy side?"

What the fuck does this fragmented attempt of a threat even mean?
