The Watercooler

In the land of Twitter where the writers gather upon the digi-shores of the collective imagination is the watercooler. A Vampire approaches...
Vampire: I thought it was understood they are fed up with the middle ages? Trope Elf replies: Yes but the new gen has aged, as we have not. Vampire: Ah, the hubris. Trope Elf: The wrinkles Vampire: the loss of innocence. Trope Elf: the immortality of naivety Vampire: what then when heroes grow old & lower their shields?
Trope Elf: they take up the pen & remember their youth & expect such vigour to be re-awoken. Vampire: yes, to pass on what was won. What was lost. Trope Elf: and so find the cost: the simplification of ideals. Vampire: shine upon the dross. Trope Elf: furies fire with no spark. Vampire: are we then the total of sum our parts. Frankenstein walks up: no, that is me. Trope Elf: hey Vampire: hey Frankenstein: I have young & old body parts. Trope Elf: kinda gross, but ok. Vampire: look, that bits black. Frankenstein: I'm diverse now.

They sigh, drink, ponder their souls.

Frankenstein: at least you guys still trend. Vampire: sex. Trope Elf: its perennial. Vampire: sometimes they do not even want that sweet relief. Trope Elf: vaginas are pagan & so is bum sex. Frankenstein: can they not see their hate of themselves is their hate of me? All I want is love. Vampire: love eternal. Trope Elf: love inherent. We drink
