Count Kinkinsee -- The Milk Drinking Vampire

After lust, the most intense emotion a mammalian life has is love. This is clearly seen from an insignificant animal to the ultimate animal – a human being.

While lust is a physical requirement, meant for procreation, Love is spiritual need, meant to hold and bring various persons together. Normally Nature tries to forbid inappropriate relationships between various species due to physical attributes and appearances but this has not been fruitful as we humans have shown love for different species from us and vice-versa.

Though the difference between a vampire and a human is not an extreme one as both species have identical physical, and some common emotional attributes, a liaison of these two species is not achievable unless one of the parties converts into the nature of the other party. Of course a productive and a useful conversion would be to become a human.

Like brute force on one hand, Love on the other hand is also a reckonable power. History is full of examples of where the power of love has achieved magnificent feats, like the Taj Mahal and Shakespeare.

This short story is an expansion of a poem of the same name written in 1990. The story was written in 1992 and had been dormant till now. This is the second of this type of creation: the other one being ‘Behold The Man They Call Christ’.

In a sense, I use the poem as a sketch for the final article.
