Æ

Æ (Pronounced "Ash") is a 5000 year-old vampire. This is his story, maybe...

I am probably twisting the intent of Friday Flash by doing this, but I wanted to try it. This will be a continuing story. I'll be curious to see where this goes.

Yes, I am still posting from the iPad. I didn't post the cover image from the iPad, but the rest of these should be text so it shouldn't matter. I'm still not a fan of the iPad as a blogging tool and I'm also not thrilled with some of the limitations of Quick Office, but I like the device so much, I just keep spending time working on it.

My original intent here was to write a young adult vampire story with some "real" vampires. They should be mean, nasty, soulless beings. It probably won't work out that way since I think Æ is already developing a bit of a soul. I am going to curious to see how the "Æ" ligature appears when I post it.

This whole thing actually started because a student in my class asked me "why don't any cool stories take place in our city." We were talking about Twilight at the time and she had just been to Forks. I told her we'd have to write one ourselves.

Having said all of that, and realizing that I've rambled a lot, on to the story...
