Entry 4 - Lovers and Farewells

Journal Entry – September 14, 2009 I watched the countryside roll past while I traveled by train from Baltimore to Boston. An evening travel with somber undertones, it marked what I deem to be the beginning of the end. Sabrina had not been herself in years. While I held out hope for a long time that she would come around again, each year passed with little more than a steady cancer growing between us. The decade rolled from ninteen forty to nineteen fifty. One year into the new decade, I heard the sound of the inevitable approaching. A choice laid in wait for me on the horizon, whether or not I cared to admit it. Would I remain beside

Entry 3 - Becoming Immortal

Journal Entry - September 12, 2008 I never thought I would be having the discussion I did tonight with Katerina, or that she would respond as favorably as she did. As strange as this is to confess, I think I might be infatuated with her. Her mortal heart still beats with blood running through her veins, but the woman I have started to become acquainted with more and more these days might as well possess fangs. Nothing I told her about being a vampire deterred her from pleading with me for entrance into our coven. What’s more, in her, I saw something of a reflection. As I consider our talks, I can’t help but to think of what happen

Entry 2 - What's In a Name

Journal Entry - June 7, 2003 Charles asked me tonight why I still use the name Robin. I confess the inquiry took me aback at first. Why not use it? I have done so for twenty years now, so it hardly seems like the time to announce to everyone that I want to go by Michael alone; no more answering to two different names. I couldn’t though. Especially as I stopped to recall how that name first came to be. Peter and I have had several discussions centered around the name over the past twenty years, especially after he stopped going by the name Flynn. Peter admitted he expected to find I’d gone back to being called Michael after we part

Entry 1 - On Immortality

Journal Entry - April 11, 2008 Tonight, I celebrated my one hundred and twenty-eighth birthday as an immortal. Hard to believe that number, in both its enormity and its smallness, but it found its way to me nonetheless. Each year strikes me a bit differently. Sometimes, it causes me to become melancholy. Other times, I am able to raise a glass and toast others to another year, or decade, or century with a smile and a laugh. There are years I attempt not to recognize the date and other years when I wax nostalgic. This has been one of the latter years. Sabrina has been on my mind a lot lately. I met her on a Saturday. I remember this because

Opening Entry - October, 2008 I never thought I would be the type of immortal to take up journaling. Back when I first learned of the practice elder vampires have of chronicling their life and times, I thought about how silly this was. What if our words fell into the wrong hands? And what time did they have for journaling when the world was still an oyster with so many pearls to be had? Well, now I have lived on this earth for one hundred and sixty years and I know better. Time winds fast and slow, with bursts of both interspersed throughout the years. There are moments when the bright lights surrounding us all have us lost in a whirlwind a

The Refuge of the Grave by peterdawes, literature

Literature

The Refuge of the Grave

there is a darkness that consumes a man from marrow to flesh and bone to skin as though a cancer; a tumor raging out of control. the brush fire rages with the heat of sticks and twigs and leaves all cast upon the forest floor. i walk amongst the flames, being charred, but not consumed. they lick at clothing and singe the collar of my shirt with something more than kisses, leaving more than lipstick in its wake. i drown within it as though drowning within the seven seas and cast my eyes toward the heavens. where are the silent statues of godly men when one is strolling through the valley of their soul, desperate to find a place to

The Streets of Kilkenny by peterdawes, literature

The Streets of Kilkenny

an irish gent with eyes of blue strolled down through kilkenny. a solemn man with dreams abroad, somewhere beyond the sea an intellect without compare, humble, astute, and wise, yes there were lands abroad somewhere behind his sapphire eyes. there came the day when irish hills, their landscapes verdant green, could not enchant the irish lad from where he longed to be. his pockets empty, money spent, just making ends complete. he’d taste his death, a half-lived life, without his grand retreat but fate brushed shoulders with him once and spared the tragedy. an irish gent trapped hopeless in the streets of kilkenny. insi

Anne Boleyn by kiwi-damnation, literature

Literature

Anne Boleyn

The clink of chain invades my ears, For I may be a prisoner, Yet I shall keep my noble stance, For I am not a commoner. With filthy cries, they throw their food, I wonder why they need complain, That they are hungry everyday When they gladly cast away. Disgust embroils in my skin, I am the Queen, forever be, This festered boil of lowly streets, Will be the last sight I shall see. For I was born with malformed hand, And with my beauty captured King, So obviously I am Witch! And I deserve the Guillotine. “You may despise me, peasant scum, But think of future! Times to come! My daughter will have claim to throne, And my d

Snapshot of a Changed World

0 min read

Taken from a journal entry dated February 28, 2011 *** The world is more than a trifle confusing at the moment, something I've been forced to realize the longer I've sat in this make-shift study, staring at the walls. It's been weeks since I've been afforded the chance to decompress and now, it seems the world is rushing in on me, in one large tidal wave. I've realized it's been weeks since we've relaxed. I've realized the chaos of the past two months has only been made worse by the fact that Lily, Lydia, and I have been in a state of flux since last summer. I am emotionally worn out and I don't have the list of ills to recover from that L

There And Back Again

0 min read

I know, I have been away for a terribly long time. Long enough that I allowed my subscription to lapse and have been debating whether or not to renew it. Navigating this website is trickier without it, but I don't seem to be here as often as I would like. At the very least Peter has been keeping you entertained. ;) Speaking of which, he tells me he will be returning my latest entry to me edited and ready for submitting some time today. I will try my hardest to be more regular about this, but with all of the construction and chaos taking place around here these days, I haven't had but a few moments to myself here and there. My "sanity nights

Ah, an English Gentleman following an Irishman. Well, at least the proper order of things has been established.

You are very welcome, brother. I hope you both are still planning to visit for the holidays?

*chuckles, nods* Yes, though we're still sorting out the precise date we'll be returning to the States. But you should expect us sometime during the first full week of December.

*grins* And this Englishman is always proud to have an Irishman come before him. Proper order, indeed.

THIS IS A HUG CERTIFICATE!

Send one to all your friends who you think deserve a hug (which, hopefully includes the person who sent it to you)!!

You might send it to your enemies as well!
It'll really make them stop and think!!!

If you don't receive this back, nobody likes you, and they wish you'd stop bugging them!

If you receive this back 1 time, open up! Find more friends, enemies, or enemies pretending to be friends

If you receive this back 2 times, you're off to a good start! (Unless you sent it to yourself! That's cheating!)

If you receive this back 3 times, you're a good friend.

If you receive this back 4 times, you're truly loved as a friend!!
