What a lovely story! I've always loved vampires. I just don't get peoples fascination with zombies instead! Stacy and Max reminded me of Norma Desmond and the butler Max in Sunset Boulevard. Is that where you got your inspiration?

Yes! I'm glad you caught that. Most young people have never even seen Sunset Boulevard. I simply combined the names of the actresses who played Norma and the Toreador vampiress from Kindred: The Embraced, Gloria Swanson and Stacy Haiduk.
