THE MASTER BEDROOM
Bedroom?.....but I thought you were
a vampire? Well I certainly am and this is my bed chamber. Not that I need
rest as a mortal understands it. My body has been dead for a hundred and
fifty years so it hardly needs beauty sleep! I have no need to slip into
a semi coma each night to maintain good vigour. I do however like to retire
here during the heat and light of mid-day and enjoy several hours of relaxed
solitude. Of course, there are occassions when one of my delightful guests
may be invited here, after all it would be a pity to waste a perfectly
good four poster bed. Again I see you shaking your head, 'vampires
dont procreate like mortals!? Well that is certainly true but just
because I have lost my human form dosen't mean I must give up every earthly
pleasure. Many vampires do become quite celibate but then so do many mortals.
Its purely a matter of predeliction and a smattering of lust. This body
is dead but it still obeys my will and if my will is to bring another to
the point of ecstacy then that is what I shall do.....
In all honesty there isnt so much I can tell you about this room, I've
already mentioned the huge bed and apart from this the room is almost empty.
My wardrobe is kept in an adjoining room, as is my dresser. There are several
implements of aural torture I could tell you about. I refer to my stringed
instruments, which
loll here and there about the walls. One day I'm going to have some sort
of rack built to hang them from, if only to stop my friends kicking them
in the dark. I love the husky sound of the cello and so I keep one as a
pet. There is a lute, a mandolin, a violin and of course the ubiquitous
guitar. This must make me sound like quite a virtuoso but really I'm just
a casual musician. I just love the sound of vibrating strings thats all.
Again there is a beautiful circular persian rug, I wish I had a picture
of it for you. Such a delight to step upon with bare feet. I spent a good
deal of time roaming the east in my early days and made some very good
contacts, which I still maintain. In those days my thirst for occult knowledge
was even more driving than my thirst for blood and I scoured every arcane
source for the truth of my existence. I became quite obsessed with the
question of good and evil, of heaven and hell. Nowadays I really dont give
a damn, I've become quite relaxed in my condition. Just be happy, thats
my simple philosophy.
