The Lycan SyndromeBiology Made Simple - Lycanthropy

"Werewolfism" - Common fable, but I'm here to explain how it could happen: the "curse" would (most likely) be a type of retrovirus, which would remain dormant for quite a while. Said virus could be passed down by genetics (genetic disorder) or by exchange of DNA directly to the bloodstream (saliva, blood-transfusion, etc.). The virus (if the person was born with it) would begin to multiply, literally, as soon as the person was born. Over the years, the virus count would reach a maximum number in which it could live, and lay dormant. It would then have to be stimulated in one of the most extreme ways possiblThe Lycan Syndrome3 years ago in Science Fiction

TransfusionBite my lower lip until it bleeds.
Suck my blood.
Fill your veins.
My passion will pump it into your heart.

I will bite your upper lip until it bleeds.
I will suck your blood.
It will flow passionately like a torrential river

The Modern LeperThe modern leper dares not show her face
at gatherings, nor in a public place.
Outcast! Unclean! No one wants to stand
beside her, much less offer up their hand
or volunteer a genuine embrace.

Society condemns with her disgrace
a different segment of the populace;
no matter that she's wed! They still want banned
the modern leper.

But she's a victim, too. They can't erase
that truth, no matter how they press their case:
this wasn't something she'd foreseen or planned.
Their blacklists and rejection she'll withstand,
just one more pain or chill that won't debase

TransfusionSomedays I'm scaring even myself. I look in the mirror and see the anger that I loathe in your eyes in mine. It's in my blood. Maybe that's why somedays I let it fall to the floor. In hopes that maybe someday I'll lose enough to need a transfusion.

The Night, TransfusedIf ever a night could be distilled
into a distillate of delight,
it would be this night.

It's tangibly liquid –
I could almost drink it.
A rush of life untainted.

It's all over me.

The night seeks shelter
in my lungs, veins, heart
just as I seek shelter

“You’re a girl?”

That’s my question. Most of these are my questions. He told me to sit down. He even gave me a cup of Abuelita hot chocolate, a sure sign that I’d need something to calm my nerves after he was done with the “we need to talk” speech.

“No, David,” I said, with a half-smile. I spoke like I was explaining this to a child. “You’re a boy.”

David held my hands and looked at me. No. He was serious and he was asking me to know that he was serious. I covered my mouth and closed my eyes. Please be joking. Please be temporarily insane. No matterList of Life6 years ago in Short Stories

Transfusion and DiffusionOh printer-paper standard hoist -
My fibrillating EKG -
For I am only moribund,
A king among the dead I see.

I'll pull your line out from my vein
And strain to drink from the IV;
I'm sorry I can't mourn your death,
Your blood is wine to me.Transfusion and Diffusion3 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms

Transfusion

I forget what air was like.

I must have breathed it in before
and fed the cells that craved salvation,
drowned the sounds of plasmic distress.
But-

'Oxygen's too good for you. Breathe love.'

-I choke as it runs down the pipes and into lungs,
burns through tissue, floods the bloodline.
The soul is coated and Nature is purged.

The plants and trees,
whose fumes flowed through so easily,
now pump pointlessly for me.
I know the earth was hurt in the breakaway.

And if my supplies should dry away,
and lust of blood would rise so soon,
I would return to Her.

But the Mother's harsh with sorry sons
who search for perfect mercy.

Petroleum TransfusionBind my mouth with tape,
So I can barely breathe.

Wide-eyed shock.
As of ice cold water;
Of dormancy dashing
to wakeful thoughts.

And the ever-closing softness.
Euphoria's newest pit-fall;
That's for you my dearest.
That is for you.
That ambiguity with the fatalistic tang of iron.

So, this is the end?
Not as grand as you thought?
Such a disappointment.

Deal with it.
Live and learn; No more.

This clinging stink of petrol.
Then, the wretched tickle of warmth pervades,
in all of it's alleged glory.
In all of it's defective perfection,
in everything it penetrates,
defecates,
it's just another thoughtful facet of this untimelPetroleum Transfusion7 years ago in Free Verse

WarmthLight from the darkness
Finally something new
From the wreckage
Something fresh
Vibrant
How can something so little,
Make such a big difference?
This small thing
How can it bring so much joy into a life
But even with joy comes sadness
Some just don't make it...
You don't ever want to think that
That will never happen
It's a rarity
Yet it does
The fear in your heart
For something you've never seen
Only felt
Deep in your soul you know
That your love for this little bundle
Will always be there
Even when it's not
The candle of this joy
May only burn for a short time
But even that
Will warm your heart and soul

Bullets whizzed through the air narrowly missing Holly's pointy ear. She dived behind a piece of rubble as another torrent of bullets came heading her way. This mission started off like most of them, quiet, but the moment Holly, Artemis, and Butler set foot in the old construction yard they were ambushed by two sprites packing a lot of heat. The tall skinny sprite swore and flew up to get an aerial shot, in the moment he was about to pull his trigger and put an end to Holly permanently a bullet pierced his wing and he was blown out of the sky. The sprite hit the ground with a sickening crack. Butler helped Holly to her feet and saBlood and Magic Chapter 16 months ago in Introductions & Chapters

Be Well Soon, MotherBurning teardrops, mournful cries,
I sit alone and pray to the skies.
Chest is heavy, breath is short,
A million fears, so hard to sort.
You gave me life, you gave it meaning,
To see you pained leaves my mind screaming.
I wish you well, I want things right,
I wish I could be by your side tonight.
Be well quick, I need you here,
My hope slips further with every tear.
The silence mock, the darkness blind,
I can feel the worry consume my mind.
My body shakes, I can barely stand,
I feel lost without your supportive hand.
My prayers are with you, like no other,
Get better soon, I need you Mother.Be Well Soon, Mother10 years ago in Free Verse

The sound is maddening,
like a broken faucet

Warm crimson flows

Slowly, I feel the change.
I fully awake, heavy with

*Aimee*
Aimee got to the hospital as soon as she could, and found her brother unconscious. She touched the doctor's arm, "Doctor, how is my brother?"
"He is stable right now. Lucky for him, the knife missed any vital areas, but he did lose a bit of blood. We are trying this new experimental treatment of blood transfusion, which will possibly help him." the doctor explained, gesturing to a glass vial of red liquid hanging above her brother.
"I'm willing to try anything to help him." she agreed, breathing a sigh of relief.
The doctor nodded and left them alone. Aimee sat down beside Raoul and brushed his forehead, "This isn't fair, Raoul. WLove Prevails- Ch 111 year ago in Introductions & Chapters
