The Urge
Fading streaks of sunlight that peaked between the blinds pierced the darkness of her room. Brandy had been in bed all day….she didn’t have the strength to do anything else. Her bed, her house was her prison…,her protection from the dreaded sunlight. After the sun, whose light she had always enjoyed set she began to stir from her fitful sleep. Pain racked her body as she slowly dragged herself to the bathroom. After splashing cold water on her drawn face she looked in the mirror. Her skin had turned deathly pale, dark circles cradled her once life like eyes. She gripped the face bowl as another wave of pain tore through her thin body.
If the pain wasn’t enough, she had a terrible hunger. This hunger gnawed at her very being. Ordinary food could no longer satisfy this hunger…,she was in need of a different kind of nourishment. Denial of her condition could not change the fact that this thing is happening to her. Just six short weeks ago, Brandy had everything a young successful African American woman could want, her own home, and a great career; in fact she was up for a promotion. She had friends who adored her; she even started dating a nice guy. Then one fateful afternoon everything her world started to crumble. On this particular afternoon she was in the yard tending to her garden when suddenly her skin felt as though it was on fire. As she struggled to get inside her worst fears bean to materialize….”it” was starting. Several days later she and a co-worker Trudy were having lunch. Brandy noticed the clasp on Trudy’s broach had come undone. As Trudy fumbled with it the pin pricked her finger. Something came over Brandy as she watched Trudy squeezed a trickle of blood from the wound. The sight, the scent of that blood wakened a long dormant
Yearning. She looked down at her salad, and was repulsed by the food.
“What a klutz” Trudy joked as she took dabbed a napkin on her finger, and then continued her conversation. She could not concentrate on what Trudy was saying….all she could focus on was that blood stain on that napkin. When Trudy made a return trip to the salad bar Brandy grabbed the napkin and put it in her pocket. When Trudy returned, Brandy excused herself to go to the restroom.
Once inside the privacy of the stall she quickly took the napkin out of her pocket. A morbid fascination came over her as she looked at the red stain. She put the napkin to her nose and inhaled. The scent of the fresh blood of mildly intoxicating. The sensation grew stronger as she put the napkin in her mouth and sucked on the blood. Every taste bud on her tongue seemed to come alive….she was lost in a momentary bliss that did not last long. When the euphoria faded she realized what she had done….it was starting…,the “urge” had finally come to her.
