| "Dinner with a Vampire" 1987 |
Thanksgiving is usually a gathering day of relatives and friends and a time to share bounty. It’s common to go back for seconds and leftovers and “just one more” taste of something delicious. Even when satiated the desire to indulge easily supersedes reason other than being easy, available and kind of expected – just one more piece of pie because it’s delicious and it’s right there for the taking. Herds flock to rivers and wildlife raids gardens that is the natural order of nature. Humankind, homo-sapiens are a different breed of being and are not all the same as a species. A psychopath marches to its own drummer and impulses are different. Most who’ve been stalked and left damaged by one of those beings know well the results and have kept or are striving to keep them away. Interesting in vampire lore is that a vampire needs an invitation to enter ones home and through guile and magnetism are often welcomed. They may be predators intent on destruction of the physical kind or they may be psychic vampires intent on draining ones life force and variations of abuse is usually not clearly defined as gas-lighting is common. The stories and cases of their predation and victims are abundant with a lot of facts unknown or overlooked as encounters seem surreal already. A factor to consider is that even if a boundary is set and they’ve been ousted they are tenacious and on a type of automatic compulsion which is that they will return if allowed. Thoughts of how could they is rational and yet, there they are, willing and ready to go back for a rerun of the past. The lack of shame or feelings of guilt is part of their boldness and the desire to indulge is part of their nature just as being thirsty and hungry. They usually have a pack of supporters which are those who’ve been ‘bitten’ and therefore contaminated entities willing to assist the psycho/predator/vampire (henceforth known as PV) as part of their own kind of feeding, ala parasitical beings needy of identity so flock to a source of greater strength. That’s another chapter for another time. For now it’s good to know that the PV may try to return at anytime without any thought of the past and try to reengage for round two, indulging in seconds. There’s no end to their willingness to return again and again. Even a simple meeting for lunch or casual encounter is a potential ticket for them to engage as if nothing before ever happened. It’s in the best interest of the victim not to invite them to Thanksgiving as it’s a feast for them regardless of good intentions and ideas of generosity in good faith. The invitation is the open door to be victimized again and the Thanksgiving feast is the victim who’s feasted upon. Many often think they should ‘forgive’ and allow the PV another chance. A chance at what and why? The victim would do better to transform from victim to self-champion entitled to a good life – literally. A PV may prey upon your good nature, be intent on theft, or any type of societal, social or moral crime.
If you hear from a PV you might send them a coupon for dental floss.
