"The unfortunate thing about this world is that good habits are so much easier to give up than bad ones." - Somerset Maugham
It always comes back to the blood, and the constant stomach gnawing hunger. Running only does so much to wear the hunger down, alcohol barely takes off the edge now. Sex is never satisfying for long enough. At the end of the day, when the sun has set, it's the blood that she wants. Thick and rich and full of bold flavours, and smooth, like the best coffee. It's the one thing that keeps her warm in the winter. Nothing compares to it, and she knows the Hunger only grows.
It is so easy to let her will power slip away. To wander down in the ravine at night where the mentally ill and homeless go. There's a bridge there that offers some shelter from the rain. On some nights, instead of running under the bright lights in the park, she talks herself into just one drink. She promises that this time, she wont let herself kill anyone... She'll stop herself before they die and only take enough to subdue the ache of having died.
