Cutting Flesh

Vampires

form around me

smelling my blood

ready to attack.

They lunge toward me

 Today, I become one of them.

    Big fan of vampires!

    The last line really makes the poem... it's a great turn in the very short story you've outlined here- cool because the speaker will be TURNED into a vampire just as the story turns. I liked it. There was a genuine element of fear and readiness in that last line that I adored. Good job- thanks for entering the contest!
