Amlan/Marcus: Romania-Shackle

A Story by Abishai100
"

Two pals of the West make for a Transylvania language of human vanity and vampire 'study' and draw expression of mysterious consequence of Earthling jitters.

Vampire short.

AMLAN: This quest for a Transylvania-line for vampire scholarship is super, pal.
MARCUS: I concur as your co-inquirer we're seeking the right-art for legends.
AMLAN: We've read of Van Helsing and Vlad the Impaler and seek modernism!
MARCUS: Yeah, vampire blood-immortals 'IQ' is ancient...but needs mod-spins.
AMLAN: Then we chart-course for Romania for this castle-tour and art-trophy!
MARCUS: Hopefully, we don't draw the fascination of actual vampires of Hell.
AMLAN: Facebook-like!



Amlan and Marcus thought very deeply of their vampire IQ and set course for a tour of Dracula's land and the special Transylvania castle that would become the 'subject' of their image-rich work, but they didn't think their 'fascination' with the art of vampire imagery would link them to a new modern cult of blood-drinkers for a tourism-shock worth its weight in 'shining' darkness (for the Ego!).



AMLAN: This is great art, and it speaks to the noir and sneakiness of subject.
MARCUS: Look at the darkness of the figurine invoking mortal thoughts, pal!
AMLAN: Who's that personal following us around in the exhibit (curator)?
MARCUS: I doubt this figurine is a curator, and it's giving me goosebumps.
AMLAN: What's the big deal...vampires don't draw bad inquisitions, do they?
MARCUS: Selfie-like (hmmm).



Marcus vanished. Amlan returned to the American Homeland, his hometown, and began his shock-adaptation of the mystery of his disappeared pal and vampire co-writer/inquirer (Marcus). He titled the work Mysteries, Shareless; and it took him so long to complete that he'd grown older (and weary!). He wondered if Marcus was somehow 'swallowed' by a human vanities curiosity about blood-immortals life and vampire mystery omens...and perhaps he simply/quietly felt thankful he'd not become a Selfie-stat for Earth realm things of the darker jitters (hmmm).
