Although I generally despise what I see in the mirror, I think I'd find it annoying not to be able to see my own reflection. I suppose a vampire's only recourse is to have lots of portraits painted!<br />Happy holidays if you celebrate them.

Let's hope Alessandra and Eduardo can dig deeper, move beyond the outward appearance, and stay together in this everlasting vampiric world. <br />I have to mention that I love your alliterative writing โpitted, potholed and pathetic,โ and a host of other alliterative phrases. I love alliteration.<br /><br />Have a Merry Christmas and a Peaceful & Prosperous New Year!
