*The Daily Journal Of Count Dracula*

What has the world come to, shame I might say,
Gone are the rich portraits of blood baths
And the enticing visuals of tragic days.
Seeing this world and its humans go from war to peace,
Is so boringly pathetic, I may as well try another cease.

Puff. I should start taking lessons from Zombie Mozart now, my voice is so good I feel terrible hearing it. It's like a stake to the heart. While in the olden days I could just sink my teeth and drink out the melody from those blaring bunch of gifted throats, that soothe your souls, these days it's all plastic! Humans have gotten smarter in their plans to make my species extinct. With no fleshy throats around, my survival is questioned even by me.

And if this is not enough, they have suddenly become too cheerful. Teeth more brilliant than mine, glaring in these annoying little lights that come out of these disgusting little totems of metal and plastic. I have known they use this new technology all day, but with this delicate skin and sun being a tyrant of the highest order, my only refuge is the night, where I could go around and be miserable. I am not a recluse and I need my burdened time.

But these filthy nasty ...

They, with their atrocious light emitting idols have taken over the night as well. Find a dark corner to have a sulk and you'll find a creep making faces of mirth and holding it (for Satan's sake!) to capture that moment (for the hate of Hades!) in those crap they call cameras and phones!
Apparently this act is called a Selfie. Strike a pose like your body is possessed by a squirrel and either spread your lips in filial affection to the God of smiles or make a face as if you are sucking the life out of something and voila! You have a selife. An unworthy art. As an educated Vampire, I did submit a decree to Oxford of course, because that word spells out too much innocence and relish and that is an insult to Literature. But alas! Men have changed for the worse. 🤢

Since the past I have condemned this picture taking business. Broad bright smiles and the excitement to see it preserved on the dead body of a tree made all types of blood in me, boil.
Only three things gave me a satisfied melancholy:

That one left out human who used to take the picture who didn't have a grin too nice
And the rosy red cheeks of all the posers that gave me a healthy appetite,
With the fact that I was the living dead around,
There was no chance of a picture of my dreadful face to be found.

The rush of grieved enjoyment I used to feel!

But now everything is digital. They take their own pictures and everyone can do it. No one is left behind. Then they have a go through all the pictures and are not satisfied! I mean how much more happy do you want to look?! My sorrow is magnanimous in a bad way. Because they'll repeat this whole jolly play again.

Taking over all things that could give me some pain and allying with my biggest enemy as well; the mirror. Oh! Yes. They take help of the mirror too. In all these years, I couldn't make it reflect me but they! They make it to reflect infinity. I could let that go because, let's face it enemies conspire together. But as much as I want to be lonesome, these sociopaths crave to not let it happen. Because these cameras can reflect me too!!!

It's a craze, more addicting than politics and far reaching than hate. And it has disrupted my life... I mean my death, which is horrid. I have to find out what the exhilaration is all about or this could slay me. Perishing at such a young age, I would be bringing shame to my whole familial. 😲

I must find these Selfie Masters or I'll never be able to live this down. How ironic is this? These pathetic humans are obsessed in wasting their lives by taking photos of themselves and here I am slowly becoming obsessed in learning about their disgusting ways and patterns. Life truly is a vicious circle.

"So here I am, out in the open." 🥱

"Ugh," The Count groaned as he looked at all the people around him clicking their pictures."Look at them! The pouting lips, the bulging eyes. One would assume they were being tortured rather than having some fun!"

He peeked over one shoulder and saw a rather classy picture being taken of a husband and wife.

"Send it to mum!" He overheard the wife yelling excitedly.

"Mum?" He repeated, with one eyebrow raised. "Hmm," He contemplated to himself as he glided from one corner of the park to the next.

Maybe it's something more than just clicking photos of protruding lips and cartoon eyes. Maybe it acts as a bridge helping to bond people over seas, over time. After all, didn't we used to have grand paintings back in our time?🤔

Those were the days when we used to sit around for hours and hours, waiting for one portrait to be completed. Now, everything happens in merely one click of a button, in two seconds flat. If you don't like one, then you can take another one right away. Compared to the hours spent in our time, this is a novelty.

But then again, who is the bigger fool? The one who sat around for hours to complete one picture or the one who spends seconds to take one picture but then minutes to 'perfect' it? Perhaps the entire world has merely evolved in their narcissistic nature. Where they used to punish those who drew them inaccurately, people now make themselves artificial to fit in. 😕

Before it used to be the royals who would have bigger than life portraits painted to depict their grandeur and lavish lifestyles. Now filters have taken over to hide the natural 'flaws' and present a fake image of who the individual actually is.

"Humans." The Count mumbled underneath his breath. "I hope there's a new plague coming soon."

This journal is going to have blood.!!!Playing the nice guy with chivalry is not what I am supposed to do during day time! Jeez.. I am losing my self-identity for exploring such a stupid activity by these petty humans! 😡

What all they make me do?!!!!

All my undead life I had enjoyed the horror people felt just by the mention of my name. Now I am a lovable sight. I have been shown respect and admiration. A dramatically dressed, enchanting looking and giver of 10k+ likes. Damn I am the muse for their silly soaps which run so popular in their boxes at home! The tingling mirth in my veins is a torture not even the barbarians knew.

After one whole day of exploration I am here slumped on this dirty couch keeping my groggy head under my arms. What has this Selfie led me to? Ultimate Revelation/Devastation of my human blood fancies? These nasty humans have found a way to scare me with their invention!

I tried to feign my ignorance but can't stop ranting about it. People feel this did good to them like when that couple took their selfie and sent it to their mother to make her happy showing their vibrant married life. I moved towards a restaurant- A flock of young beauties took their pictures by hugging pouting umm kissing too.. Aargh my long beautiful incisors are getting jealous! They looked so happy doing that. All uninhibited joy. They seem to shine...eerrr..Yes humans shine!!! like a polished toilet, we Vampires sizzle!!!😎

But well back to the research, they talk about this awesome invention for connecting with their invisible flock. They talk about how they found their long last friends and posted selfie on their books reliving memories. Well we Vamps have the supernatural ability to meet anyone anytime. Humans have fold a way too. They are progressing. This is sad.

I am no heartless monster so it all seems not so threatening at all but, the scary part for me has been the obsessed narcissistic humans who didn't leave a chance to utilize this selfie at occasions. Sun has just risen the mobiles starts clicking for good morning selfie, waking up selfie, before brushing selfie, going to work selfie, with a shark selfie, attending a funeral selfie and selfie with the dead bodies too. Shucks! This is horrifying. They toil more for a perfect selfie than a satisfying meal(so hungry I can drink my own blood now).

And if the self uh! ah! isn't enough people body shame other people's selfies. Now being a part of the monster community even we have codes of conduct. No one ever mentions Bigfoot's girth and Frankenstein's mirth. We adore one another. And humans bow down so low as to shove hate towards a fellow human, based on a picture!!! Talk about Satan's childhood friends and there humans are!!!

To click or not to click, is the question now. I may have my reservations but it seems to be growing on to me like a mold. There are humans who are taking stand against the bullies, if that is taken out all is quite right about this selfie business I feel. Or don't, or maybe do, but, I need more proof.
Till then hail the plague that should come now.🤔

The Count slumped on the wormy couch, with a dejected sigh. He seemed to be trying to make up his mind, "I flew across graveyards to graveyards. Lurked in shadows, drove the spiders to madness by taking their spot and even dressed as a lowly human to get as near to selfies as I can."

He hunts down his journal and starts penning down his thoughts...

Now people would want to argue that selfie is not silly, or crazy either! Well, I'm pretty fine with them believing whatever the heck they do, just don't try to convince me it's not.😃

This crazy antic of humans literally drove me to starvation! My very existence was on stake and you they were concerned about clicking the perfect selfie! I go hunting and humans want me to do it properly so that it clicks beautifully.

Few of them even attempted to drag me to a studio so that my incisors and their blood get enough focus. Just the other day a rather delicious teenager made me promise to click a picture with her corpse when I am finished with her and post it on some Instagram with a sepia filter. I was subordinated to say yes and she actually thanked me!

But then I got creeps when I saw what happened with my foe Frankenstein. He got fangirls😲👏!!!

And so, I am now a convert. Sounds retarded but it's addicting...and who doesn't loves having fangirls!!!!!😳.

I have been pulled, pushed, prettied, and asked to smile and I know it's breaching of the Rules of the Fabulously Grim Ghosts, but selfies are fantabulous. 😃

Seeing this gorgeously gruesome picture here, I might court with wonderful eerie looking lady: ❤️

Who knew selfies may bring me love.
What more can one ask from the art of giving.

And Count Dracula takes the centre stage...

"Now while I have found LAU, what about you people?You have seen weirder & crazier selfies than this & yet haven't lost your sanity? Well...I'm not stupid to doubt you. Obviously you have! Can you please show them in this thread as well?Go on and I might reward the one that will steal my thirst away!"

NOTE: "The selifes will be restricted to celebs only as we don't want to rile anyone up by asking them to post personal pics."
