vampires

I think there is only one person I told this to.

I guess it was just almost never the right time to talk about it.

When I was a kid, I imagined the fangs of a vampire to be hollow--with a vacuum. Think fountain pen. I imagined that with it, they would rip the skin, get into the flesh and the vacuum will do the trick--like twin syringes.

I realize of course that there was some over thinking there. The fangs are solid. And blood sucking is manually performed by the vampire. I haven't met a vampire, what more inspected vampire fangs. But I'm quite confident that those pointy things are not that complicated.
