Altered Vampire

Humans are selfish.

In a word, Igor thought of his human masters as completely selfish. They were completely emerged in their own little worlds, and they always seemed to be oblivious to the real issues at hand. The earth could have been crumbling at their feet, but they would not of even noticed.

As they were keeping in their own realities, having the world revolve around them, the Lennox family was just one example of a new money family in America. The majority of people became even more self involved then the past. It wasn't easy to find someone who wasn't a narcissist. 'ME ME ME,' Is what they chanted to themselves on a daily basis.

This was to the point that narcissism became a rare personality disorder because the standard for it had been scaled up very high. The newest DSM book had even revised the section for this drastic change in culture. The world had become all the less sane with the recent innovations. Since 2015, the world had gained the following: A smart phone with holograms, affordable flying cars, hover-boards, voice locks, genetic identification, chips with banking and identification data inside them that had been planted inside all humans, and most importantly, GenAlucards. With the ability to become completely immersed in a world full of connections, but, initially disconnected from real human interactions, was a double edged sword, people had become more withdrawn into themselves.

The truth was even less of them had 'true' friends, and more family orientated people came into existence. These inventions and the side effects of them caused the middle class to either fall into poverty, or become rich. The majority of the middle class, had become poor, whereas, the lucky few, like the new money Lennox family, became stinking rich.

The poverty line was drawn over many of the families in the country than ever before, not just because of the twenty million GenAlucards living in poverty, but generally because the poor stayed poor, and the rich just kept getting richer, and with a limited socialistic capitalistic society, the less fortunate had to buy what was on the market and available to them, whereas the rich were able to acquire the best items that were not available to the general public.

The working poor had to go to destitute schools with tight budgets, and college never seemed to be an option, and people only lived with their families unless they met an eligible bachelor or bride.

College became less affordable to the point that only the rich could afford it. With the government being greedy and the officials not giving a crap about the poor, student loans had become unavailable for the majority, either that, or with such high interest rates that the poor could not afford to pay them off until death.

GenAlucards had a similar view of the world to the human low class. Their point of view was much more cynical, and just having food and a nice place to sleep was considered 'rich' to them. The GenAlucards had a burning hatred towards humans. They weren't discriminatory against humans, but are discriminated against by humans.

The GenaAlucards thought that the humans complained too much about their dire circumstances. 'First World Problems' was the silly expression they used to explain their situation.

In Igor's wise opinion, of being an elder to most other GenAlucards, he thought the poor were full of shit, and so were the rich, what a horrible race to have gotten control of us, he thought naively, as he was 'created.' What he didn't know was that the humans controlled them because the humans were their creators, their gods. His masters seemed very unintelligent to him, as he was part of their best creation ever. He was smarter than most of them, but not the original creators.

"Igor get me my mirror, I left it on the breakfast table again." The Lennox Mother commanded.
