lifeblood

I had a very vivid dream last night. I was a vampire and, with my fangs, I remember piercing the skin of my victim's neck. I could smell their musk (I don't know if it was a man or woman) and feel the throb of their pulse against my teeth and my lips. I remember how it felt, that slight resistance before I slid my teeth into them. I remember tasting their blood, thinking that it was unlike anything I had heard or read. There was no saltiness or metallic tang, only a heavy thickness and heat. I felt it coat my tongue and my throat and slide into my body. And then, there was a rush of energy and magic - as their lifeblood filled me. I felt lightheaded and intoxicated with this blast of adrenalin.
