NAOMI
This would be a great way to die. The water beneath the abandoned
bridge shimmers like black diamonds against the moonlight, and the current
seems strong enough to carry my body miles from where I stand. There’s
enough distance between the rusty guardrail I’m peering over and the water
below that hitting the surface alone could do me in, and I wouldn’t have to
worry about drowning.
On the list of potential ways to die, drowning will always be at the
bottom for me.

Not that it matters anymore. If I jumped off this bridge, I wouldn’t die.
It would be freezing and deeply unpleasant, but I’d survive. Now that I’m a
vampire, I’m practically immortal.
A stake through the heart is the only thing that’ll take me out. I know
because I’ve tried everything else.
If a human wanted to opt out of their future, they could just drink too
much water in a short period of time, or eat something they’re allergic to, or
get a splinter and never have it removed, letting the infection grow and
fester until it found its way into the bloodstream. The most innocuous
things can take a person out. This isn’t something I realized until I was
turned, and dying became close to impossible.
Not because death was a foreign concept to me when I was human.
Working in the medical field put death right in front of me, and it was my
duty to step between it and my patients, protecting them from death’s icy
grip. I was a successful OBGYN in Seattle and had just joined an incredible
all-female practice that was a five-minute walk from my large and
remodeled Tudor-style house.
A house that I bought with cash. My mom
and I had finally reached a place of mutual acceptance––my mom accepted
that I’d never settle for plain fruit as dessert, I accepted that she would
always offer it anyway. I had wonderfully supportive friends, and I had just
started dating the smoking hot anesthesiologist at the hospital that I’d been
crushing on for months.
Then I lost everything.
Tears fill my eyes at the memory of that awful night. The eve of my
thirty-third birthday. If only I had chosen to get a ride instead of walking
home from the bar, then maybe I wouldn’t have woken up in a stranger’s
apartment, thousands of miles from home, my heart no longer beating, and
the thirst for blood so strong that my throat burned with the heat of a
thousand suns.
