"I know that no reader ever asks a question. A writer must force his favors upon his readers." -Jan Neruda

The tale that I will tell in this entry is about the Vampire, a story by Jan Neruda


NO! not a scary vampire with fangs. I mean a person with a nickname "The vampire"!~
So this is how the story goes, There was a family that was going to the island Prinkipo and their daughter is very ill. While they were on their cruise to Prinkipo, they met a Greek man who has vampire-like characteristics. Pale skin, deep black eyes and long black hair. He said that he was an artist. He always carried a portfolio wherever he went. When they reached the beautiful Island, they relaxed on the green grass near the sea. The greek went near the family and opened his portfolio and started drawing. When he finished the drawing, he stood up and went back inside the inn. When one of the family members asked one of the people in that island why did the Greek carried his portfolio everywhere, the person answered that he was nicknamed the vampire and the images that he drew in his portfolio were the people who are going to die in the near future. When they saw the image that the Greek drew in his portfolio, they were shocked because the daughter's image was in there, her eyes closed and a wreath of myrtle on her brow.

Yes! it freaked me out too when I finished reading it. i didn't expect it to end like that.
and this was my reaction after reading the story:
