Crimson Feast: The Secrets of the Vampire Bat
In the velvet folds of endless night, a creature stirs, a hunger bright. The vampire bat, with eyes that gleam, craves a feast in a crimson stream. Unlike its brethren of fruit and wing, this creature thrives on a stranger thing. Blood, a liquid thin and red, is the elixir on which it’s fed.
With razor fangs and silent flight, it pierces skin under moonlit night. A symphony of tiny slurps, a feast that sets the nerves a-throb. Yet in this macabre way of life, scientists find a curious strife. Genes long lost, a twisted fate, to live on blood, they did mutate. Iron-strong and lean they grow, on a diet most would never know.
But the vampire bat is not alone, a brotherhood of the blood they’ve known. From tiny ticks to bloated leech, a crimson craving all beseech. Yet, strangest still, in hunger’s bind, a gruesome generosity they find. Sharing lifeblood, dark and deep, the bonds of their strange kinship they keep.
A Whisper in the Shadows
Wings like wraiths in midnight air,
Eyes of embers, a chilling stare.
A drop of blood, a scarlet stain,
The vampire’s hunger thrives again.
On liquid life, their bodies lean,
A crimson world, forever gleaned.
