My microfiction from Twitter in July!
Prompt: Queen
She had endless humans following her will, desiring her immortality, offering her warm blood. But it was only a trick–she never planned to make them her equals. She wanted to be Queen.

Prompt: Tunnel
Tunnel vision had the highest casualties. When bloodlust took over, too many vampires focused on their picked prey, no longer paying attention to other attackers around them. Even the strongest fighters fell when they stopped paying attention around them.

Prompt: Precious
“After living for 200 years, what is your most precious memory?”
“The moment my only daughter died of old age. She left me her posterity, but I’ll never forget that I can’t follow her or my late husband.”

Prompt: Folly
“TV has it all wrong. It’s a folly to go around ripping out necks. Maybe it was great fun 200 years ago, but now humans are the top of the food chain with their weapons of war. Secrecy is more vital than fangs and faster reflexes.”

Prompt: Answer
The answer isn’t in how you prefer your blood, but how you hunt.

Prompt: Hell
“If you hate living so much, why do you keep struggling to survive?” “I fear the hell awaiting me on the other side.”

Prompt: Intent
“The first bite normally goes off the rails because there’s no intent. It’s driven by instinct and an overwhelming need. It takes time to take control, to not kill the human. Think about your goal before you hunt and bite. Don’t let instinct take over.”

Prompt: Flock
“One on one, the vampire will win. That’s why werewolves flock together and hunt as packs. Only then are they a threat.”
“Pretty sure humans do that, too.”
“And that, boy, is why secrecy is vital.”
