~Vampyres~

Residing in the comforts of their eternal rest-place during the days of light, these nocturnal nobles emerge from their burial grounds upon sunset. Creatures of the night, they soar the night skies under the pale moonlight and would only return to their grounds at the break of dawn, fulfilling their desires in the presence of the stars. Vampyres. A fusion breed of man and bat, these hybrids from the past are tagged along with a certain brand of royalty from the era of the 1700’s. Dressed like noblemen and ladies, with the occasional don up of the dark cloak, spotting sharp fangs and emitting an air of elegance, they roam the vast lands of Earth in search of their needs.

In movies, vampyres are always portrayed to be invincible and superior amongst the rest, but only to be destroyed by the lead character either by exposing them to sunlight of driving a wooden stake blessed by the holy hands of God right through their heart.

Although vampyres are made out to be terrified of garlic, crosses, holy water and the bible [Facts gathered from my experience with ‘Castlevania’, an entertainment game I was obsessed with during my younger days], they are but minor. Taking humans as comparisons, holy water and garlic are just like boiling-hot water and a really foul stench to vampires. What about the holy Bible and the cross? Take them as porcupines or electric eels, an unpleasant sight to see, and will hurt when in contact with.

The topic we are covering now is the vampyre with a slight twist. He, who strums the strings of nothingness, picks and bends the threads of wind with zest and eagerness. Behold! The air-guitar playing vampyre. The hip and trendy devil that now threads on the streets of cosmopolitans, playing his instrument to the vibes of the now-sounds.

Notice the over-zealous expressions flashed over his pale face, it beckons now, the evolution of the vamp-kind, where memoirs of the past are re-written and the hands of time fumbled. In a dimension where time and space nears non-existence to him, the spokes-person for www.airguitar.vamp.com altogether with his company, now embarks on a revolutionary journey to unite all vampyres to groove…to the motions of authentic air-guitar playing.
