🩸

I didn’t ask to be made a vampire.

This high up, I didn’t ask to transpire,

it all started, as what I know now, as a Ponzi scheme!

Now, on top of a skyscraper,

I’m about to go back down to ground level.

I'm too far in and I can't get out...

then, there’s more doubt,

now, I’m forced to be a blood sucker.

Their smell lures me in,

I know it’s a bloody sin.

I’m intoxicated, especially by O positive.

A huge eagle swooped down, grabbing me off the top of the skyscraper,

he flew me to a desert,

where there was not a human being in sight…

for miles and miles.

So this was my escape…

    Amazing escape!!. I think eagle will have a hard time carrying me🤣 He should have dropped you in the woods... A better place to escape 😌

    Ooh, that eagle must have some serious opinions on ethical dining!

    I think it's interesting that 38% of the population is O + and can donate to only + blood types, whereas O - is a universal donor to all blood types.

    Oh, there's an escape all right... the desert is sandiest next to the ocean
