by Hume Nisbet is a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Monsters" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Universal Monsters">classic horror</a> story. There are all sorts of
advantages to having a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maid" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Maid">maid</a>, such as being served, and having someone to

backpack, handed me a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_grenade" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Hand grenade">flash bang grenade</a>, and moved to the side of a window.
With two grenades in one and hand and his Glock in the other, he whispered,
"One one-thousand, two one-thousand, three one-thousand." A shot from
his gun shattered the center of the window and he tossed his two grenades
inside. I lobbed mine through the hole he had created, knelt down, and covered
my ears.</span></b></div>

my teeth, I
thrust my right palm at the man in front of me. Nothing happened. I
hadn't
generated a blast of air and my dizziness increased as he continued
chanting. I took a deep breath, steadied my right arm with my left, and
pointed my hand at
him. This time the force of wind generated by my magic threw him
backwards into
the rear brick wall, and he fell to the ground. I grabbed my Glock,
ready to
shoot if he moved, but he lay motionless, face down on the floor. My
magic had
never failed me before. I use a gun mainly in self-defense, but if this
bastard
moved, I would shoot him.</span></b><br />

True Story of A Vampire by <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Stenbock" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Eric Stenbock">Count Stenbock</a> Eric shows that vampires are
not always what they appear to be, nor are their appearances uniformly
the same. However, they inevitably inflict destruction on the people and
families that encounter them. This is one man's tale of how a vampire
entity enters his, and his family's life to their utter dismay.</b></span></span></div>

“Idiot,” I muttered to myself and finally chambered both slugs. The top of the
werewolf’s head disappeared when my shotgun roared at the creature. The beast’s
forward momentum carried it into me. The body and the rest of the werewolf’s
head hit my chest, and I bounced off the car. I lost my grip on the shotgun as
I fell to the ground, and I experienced a sharp pain in my left shoulder.

I found the a VAMPIRE RAVE website in my endless search for interesting vampire pictures. This is a site for people into the vampire lifestyle. Press on the logo to get there.<br />
<br />
<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Vampire Rave is <i>the</i> social networking website for <b>vampires</b> and goths. We are a home for <b>real vampires</b>
across the globe. If you're looking for a darker gothic or <b>vampire</b> social network, you've found it."</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
<br />
From the above website I followed a link to The Dark Network website. I copied the introduction of the founder/owner for the website below. Press the logo to get there.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"My name is Cancer. I founded the Dark Network and all affiliated
websites. I have been an active member of the gothic community since
1994.
I have worked since that time to bring dark resources online. My
first venture was an Undernet IRC chat room called #vampires back in
1994.
In 1999 I launched <a href="http://www.vampireradio.com/">Vampire Radio</a>. In 2003 I began production on the webzine <a href="http://www.acrimony.org/">Acrimony</a>.
In 2004 I started <a href="http://www.vampirerave.com/">Vampire Rave</a>.
<br />
<br />
The Dark Network grew out of a number of needs that I identified
as surrounding the gothic/punk/rivethead/alternative communities.
It is an ever-expanding project that will continue throughout my
life."

Cancer 's statement speaks for itself. If you are part of the lifestyles described above, and this is a site you should visit. If you cringe at the sight of someone with purple and black hair, it is imperative for you to visit the site.<br />

activities.<br />
<br />
How do vampires carry out their active physical existences? Humans, mortals,
have complex biological systems that provide energy to the muscles, tendons,
bones, that enable us to be physically active. Vampires are dead: their hearts
don't beat; their lungs don't breathe; and their former biological energy
producing systems are no longer functioning. Where do their muscles get energy?
Dr. <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.katherineramsland.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Katherine Ramsland">Katherine Ramsland</a> wrote an entire book, The Science of Vampires,
speculating about how vampires function and think. Dr. Ramsland could only
speculate, because neither she nor anyone else has examined a "real undead
<a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.break.com/c/pop-culture-videos/movies/horror/vampires/" rel="break" target="_blank" title="Vampires">vampire</a>."<br />
<br />
In the movies and in novels, vampires share blood with humans to turn them into
vampires. How is this possible? Without hearts that beat, vampire are cold to
the touch. In fiction, Vampires are usually impervious to the cold. If vampires
are cold-blooded creatures and they are outside in freezing temperatures, their
blood would thicken. To the best of the author's knowledge, no writer or movie director
has ever addressed this issue. It's not a matter of unanswerable questions as
much as it is an illogical possibility.<br />

Transforming
matter from one form, a solid, into another form, gaseous, requires heat or a specific
chemical process. Except for a nuclear explosion, modern science has no means
by which it can almost instantaneously turn a solid object into a gaseous one.
Science has no explanation for the existence and activities of vampires. The
illogical and unscientific existence of vampires are rarely if ever addressed
in the novels or movies. Vampires came to life not by magic, or mystery, or
even the supernatural, but with the pen and ink of writers and producers of
movies. The reader, or viewer, supports the mysterious existence of vampires
with more than a little suspension of disbelief. With the current popularity of
vampire books, movies, and television shows, readers and viewers probably have
little if any interest about science and the impossibility of vampires.</span></b></span></div>

Alarcon. Listen to Gabriel's tale and lend him what sympathy you can.
Also pray that you never share his experience.</b></span></span></div>

her hands until the sounds of bones cracking made me cringe. She let go, and

and converged on Monique. Driving closer revealed the details of the
brown-haired werewolves. When the closest one lunged at her, she bent her knees
and tossed the beast over her head into the brick wall. The other werewolf
wrapped its paw-like hands around her face, trying to gouge her eyes out. She
kicked its right knee and the beast howled and crumpled to the ground. Monique
grasped the werewolf’s head, holding it still as she sank her fangs into its

until the beast’s head rolled to the side, and its body stopped moving.</span></span></span><br />
