There are Such Unfortunates: 12 Simple Steps to a Newer You
by Christopher Danaher
"You're in the right place," they said with smiles,
offers of coffee and Styrofoam cups.
They shook his hand and gave him hugs.
"We know how you feel," they consoled him.
He wasn't so sure; folding chairs, dark church basement...
talk of "God".
"Tell us your story," someone asked.
"Well," he started, "I'm an addict."
"I hurt people...did things."
"I hate what I've become...I can't stop...I have to do it."
"I'm a freak."
They shook their heads, and told him "No..."
"It doesn't have to be that way."
"It will be OK."
And, just for a moment, he believed them.
For the first time in ages, he felt like part of the human race.
He let his guard down...and cracked a smile.
His eyes shown bright in the dimly lit room.
Then it happened: they just sat there, staring back...mesmerized.
His teeth shined, long and sharp, through his "smile."
His urge to feed returned without mercy.
