:11:00
Man's voice: A great numb feeling
washes over me

:11:03
as I let go of the past
and look forward to the future.

:11:05
I pretend
to be a vampire.

:11:09
I don't really need to pretend,
because that's who I am,

:11:12
an emotional vampire.
:11:15
I've just come
to expect it--

:11:17
that vampires are real,
:11:19
that I was born this way,
:11:21
that I feed off of other
people's real emotions.

:11:26
I search
for this night's prey.

:11:30
Who will it be?
:11:45
You look familiar--
have we met?

:11:49
I think I fucked her somewhere
toward the beginning of term,

:11:51
the "Wet Wednesday" party.
:11:53
No.
:11:55
- What's your name?
- Peter.

:11:58
Really?
Aren't you a senior?

:12:02
No, a freshman.
:12:04
Really?
I thought you were older.

:12:06
No, I'm a freshman.
:12:08
Peter.
Peter the freshman.

:12:15
She has dick-sucking lips,
so I consider the options.

:12:20
I leave right now,
go back to my room,

:12:24
play the guitar...
:12:28
masturbate to broadband-speed
Internet porn...

:12:30
I'm going
to come on those tits.

:12:33
...go to sleep.
:12:35
Or...
:12:37
I could play "Quarters"
with Dickie and Quinlivan

:12:39
and that dumb guy from LA.
:12:43
Or I could take her
to the Carousel for some coffee

:12:45
and ditch her there
with the bill.

:12:54
Or I could take her back
to my room,

:12:56
hope the Frog is gone,
get stoned and fuck her.

:12:59
So, what do you think?
