- Had an odd dream- one of the full narrative sorts.
- 10:14 AM
- Artell: Oh?
- 10:15 AM
- me: Yeah.
- 10:16 AM
- Large family- and I guess this is out west, 1800s or so, and they're prosperous enough to have a great deal of influence, a massive amount over the town.
- 10:17 AM
- Artell: Like Bonanza or something?
- me: The patriarch of the family has recently passed away, leaving the two oldest brothers-twins- now in charge of the family.
- 10:18 AM
- Artell: And you were a complete observer in this, or?
- 10:19 AM
- me: Outside watcher.
- Y'know how that happens in dreams sometimes, right?
- 10:21 AM
- Artell: Yes, I do.
- 10:22 AM
- me: Anyhow, so, things go well for a short time, then the younger brother begins to be acting somewhat strange. He is, however, at the same time, increasing the family's prosperity and influence. He's even set up a charity in their father's name. The older brother is becoming jealous and suspicious.
- The rest of their siblings, not so much.
- 10:27 AM
- So, things remain this way for quite a time, several years.
- 10:28 AM
- The older twin begins to drink heavily, to the point of becoming an alcoholic.
- 10:29 AM
- The younger twin, however, does not appear to be aging.
- 10:30 AM
- This, much of the family concludes, is because he's taking care of himself- twins cannot be expected to look the same, after all, when one is taking care of themselves extremely poorly.
- 10:31 AM
- The older brother does not believe this, in his jealous mind.
- 10:34 AM
- Time goes by, and the older brother, while in drunken haze one night, heads into the cellar to find something to drink.
- He heads to the wrong crate, however, and, upon returning to the house, discovers the bottle he opened is filled with blood.
- 10:36 AM
- He returns to the cellar, in horror and disgust, and finds his twin next to the crate, drinking from one of those bottles.
- 9 minutes
- 10:45 AM
- Artell: O_o
- 10:46 AM
- me: He flees, and fortunately, is not noticed.
- 6 minutes
- 10:53 AM
- Artell: And then?
- 10:54 AM
- me: Shaken by this turn of events, the brother gives up drinking altogether.
- 10:55 AM
- Artell: Oh my.
- 10:56 AM
- me: Instead, dedicating his time to learning what sort of monster has replaced his twin.
- 10:58 AM
- He discovers the answer- a vampire.
- With this knowledge in mind, he gathers the family up in the parlor, and announces his discovery.
- Everyone but his brother, of course.
- 10:59 AM
- He has discovered when he goes down to the cellar to drink, and purposefully timed when he gathered everyone to convene with that time.
- 11:00 AM
- He is met with no fear, no horror, no shock.
- 11:01 AM
- He asks them why they are not afraid, because their brother is a monster, a disgrace,, inhuman.
- His eldest sister, who was visiting from her own family, responds, telling him that it is not his twin that is the monster, the disgrace, but him.
- 11:02 AM
- Who wanders the town drunk, wasting the family's money, treating everyone and anything around him poorly.
- He rises into a fury, and with his pistol, shoots them all, before they can leave, before they can escape.
- 11:03 AM
- Artell: :|
- me: The sound of shooting is heard- in the cellar, and outside in the town, coming from the house.
- 11:05 AM
- The man rushes outside, and padlocks the cellar door, and, with horses, pulls a large boulder over what is the only entrance- and exit.
- And then he gets discovered by the local law enforcement and is taken in and is hung the following week for murdering everyone else in is family.
- The end.
