Эта публикация будет на английском. Небольшая предыстория: перед новым 2022-ым годом мои студенты и я устроили марафон коротких предрождественских историй. Здесь читателям предлагается одна из них.
He has always dreamt of becoming a vampire and living forever. Almost a year ago he begged Santa Claus to grant him this vicious super-power.
Today it's December, 24. Christmas Eve. How foolish it was of him to believe in Santa. But isn't it silly to consider vampires alive? Frustrated, he goes to bed.
Next morning his mom calls him to the table. What a feast it is! Bacon, eggs, baked crispy turkey... The smells are mouth-watering! Are SUPPOSED to be. Now he feels sick looking at the edible paradise. He can drink only blood.
AWAKENED and THIRSTY.
