My finger-joints tighten as my tendons turn to bone. Every word I scrabble is a pain. I am old, very old, older by far than the tree from which the paper was taken that I now write upon.

Among the peasants I am called the Hollhaus Vampyre, for they look upon my castle's walls in the night and shudder, but I am no Vampyre, not anymore.

I can no longer stomach the Red Wine, for I am sure my belly has hardened shut; and I must struggle to think sapient thoughts, for the black tendrils of my mind threaten to slither and to choke. I focus now all of my attention upon my fingers, to write as a Man does... or the magicks of my mind should burn it into the table before me.

I wish, now, to stop thinking of the present, and look to the past. Even to a soulless being, the present hurts too much.

This is the chronicle of my life as I have lived it. Everyone in this chronicle is now gone... some from my life, and many more from existence entirely.
