By The Menopausal Poet
Vampires are neurodivergent.
Photosensitive, restricted diet,
prefers enclosed spaces, sleeps somewhere quiet.
Hyper responsive to certain smells, garlic for one.
Avoids bathing. Certain water causes sensory pain.
Religiously against.
Eye and physical contact on their terms.
Fleeting or overly intense.
Stands close.
No awareness of personal space.
Prefers to keep teeth and hair long.
Dislikes dentists and hairdressing salons.
Eschews change.
Prefers wearing the same-coloured clothes, generally black.
Flowing, zip and button free, high collared at the back.
Same habit for several centuries.
Biting provides proprioceptive relief.
Prefers social engagements when others are asleep.
Feels more comfortable with those younger than their peers.
Likes silence and lack of social chat.
Nocturnal proclivities.
Sexually fluid. Best friend is a bat.
Lives alone in isolated castles.
Hermit. Communication skills, poor.
Aversion to wood and unexpected callers at their door.
Limited liquid diet, their only food.
Vampires are misunderstood.
