Aphelion

I can't quite figure out this vampire/sex thing . . . maybe it's because I just don't care for vampire stories to begin with . . .

. . . or maybe it's because I've seen too many PBS Nature shows, and missed all of what might be sexual about that lion taking down the gazelle . . .

I did like the ending:

in fact, she herself
was wounded in his attack.

-- although it fails to quite satisfactorily explain itself.
