Here, I present to you the story of ‘Nomort’, the terror of the nights in our village, who is making a monstrous career change. Our local vampire has decided to become vegan, thus shaking up the entire local gastronomic ecosystem.
To start, let me remind you who ‘Nomort’ is. This vampire, who has made us all tremble (or not), has been the subject of many frightening stories around the fire. The elders say that he has survived through all eras and that his thirst for blood is insatiable. But apparently, even for a vampire, it’s important to reinvent oneself and adopt a healthier and more environmentally friendly lifestyle.
“I just finished a documentary on Netflix, ‘The Meat Dilemma’. It was absolutely gripping,” Nomort admits. “I realized the carbon footprint represented by each drop of blood I consume. It’s catastrophic! I decided for the sake of the planet that I needed to change my eating habits. So, I switched to fruit juice.”
This new diet is not without its impact on local businesses. The village butcher, Mr. Tournedos, appears particularly dismayed. “I thought this diet was a matter for city hipsters, I did not expect it to reach our dear vampire. Where is the world going?”
Despite the fear of some, Nomort is quite peaceful and well-intentioned. He adds: “I thought it would be difficult, but actually, it’s easy. I feel much lighter and I’m less tired during the day. Yes, I know, it’s paradoxical, me being normally nocturnal. Maybe I’ll try to become diurnal too…”
This story, in addition to being utterly absurd, reminds you that habits, even ancestral ones, can change. Sometimes all it takes is a little push. Or a Netflix documentary.
