Vampyre Myth #5

Vampyre Myth #5: Vampyres are immortal.

I definitely addressed this somewhere else in the abyss of posts I’ve accumulated over the past few months, but it’s shown up in my e-mail a couple of times since so I thought I’d revisit it.

…Are vampyres immortal?

No.  I wish we were, it would make life tons more fun, I’d jump off of more buildings, eat more junk food, take more risks, and be less afraid of athority. (What’s 10 years in prison if you’re gonna be alive forever?  …I suppose life in prison would be an issue though…)

But, alas, as I’ve said it before, it all boils down to the fact that we are still human beings, and in being so, we die. 

Although, (and this will probably be another post in and of itself) it is VERY VERY unlikely that any vampyre will ever die from not feeding.  We can certainly feel like complete and utter shit if we don’t, but I’ve yet to see someone who’s actually died as a result.

Anyway, while fictional vampyres revel or brood over their gift or curse of immortality, modern day vampyres come one day closer to death every day, just like everyone else.  

When someone finds a remedy to this aging thing though–please let me know.  Immortality wouldn’t be so bad…
