Midnight as she patrols the graveyard.
Hey eyes grow wide as her hunger grows.
Senses heighten as tombs open and she spots her prey - souls ripe enough to corrupt?
She violates their privacy to see their fading memories, forgotten sins and missed opportunities. A plethora of emotion available personally only at the very periphery of her awareness. Such a distant memory now but, wrong as she knows it is, her violation of these intimate moments sustains her... briefly. A memory of all that she took for granted and never appreciated.
A deep feeling of remorse haunts her unfilled lungs as she summons the last traces of life from the newly departed corpses. She watches the released souls move on.. to... wherever it is they go. Lives well lived, dreams and ambitions fulfilled, passing from this place to the next at peace, knowing that it was their time.
Death surrounds and engulfs her. Very occasionally, she will find such a soul as her, who will be trapped, cornered physically and emotionally but there is no escape, tonight or ever, and she has to accept that.
There is no possible release now. She longs for the death that she knows she can never have, for how can you die when you never truly lived.
