The Dark Sire Issue 8 (Summer 2021) - PREVIEW | Page 22

Vampire - Intense by S . M . Cook

I sense thee , I smell thee , I can almost taste thee , Thyne blood , It rushes thru thy veins , I can look into your soul . I sense thy fears , I can see thy past , And thy future . I follow thee , I watch thee , I will have thee soon .
S . M . Cook may be known for her award-winning serialization , Kyuuketsuki , but she does more than write fiction . Presented here is a trilogy of poems that stand alone yet tell a continuous story . She wrote all three poems in one night – inspired by the positive energy at the ceremony for the 1 st Annual Creative Awards . Now that her serialization has come to an end , she plans to publish the full-length novel in the next year or two . An original native of New York , she lives in Ohio , where she enjoys going to the lake , reading King and Gabaldon , and watching anime .
