He flies through the moonlit night, searching for his next victim. He must find one before he weakens further. He needs blood, for that alone sustains him.

He sees his prey. He flies to a safe distance and perches, waiting for the moment to swoop down on that neck, that glorious blood spigot.

It's an unseen force that drives him to search night after night for that plasmatic elixir that grants him life.

He sees an opportunity and makes his move, diving down on his victim's neck.

SWAT!!

    Well you had me fooled there Christopher! I was expecting an homage to Vincent Price, but you delivered a bloody good twist!

    Loved the execution of this. Started to suspect the twist just before it came but that was part of the fun .;-)
