Vampire Bats

by adewpearl


Not every animal can be cute.


Abomination -
bloodsucker,
cave dweller,
engorged.

Eerie flier -
galling, grasping hanger.

Hated
hemorrhage inducer,
inexorable jeopardizer.

Kafkaesque.

Lacerated?
Languish.

Malicious nightrider
necessitates our pallor.

Queasiness.

Quenching rampage -
sated thirst.

Terminator-
ultra vampire wannabe.
Wanton x-tractor
yields zombies.

Halloween is in the air - the decorations are already up - what better time to have fun with an animal that isn't all cute and pretty? A note on Kafkaesque. You are most likely acquainted with the short story by Kafka entitled Metamorphosis, in which a young man awakes in the morning to find he is now a rather hideous bug whose family is revolted by him. It is not a comedy. Kafka's other works, like The Trial, are all dark, existential, surreal stories in which the hero finds himself in grim and hard-to-fathom situations. Just suits the mood of a vampire bat.
