Interview with the Vampire (1994)

[vampiresque]

doomed by the narrative but not to death. doomed to survive. doomed to stay alive inside the story. doomed to never escape the narrative, not even through death. you are allowed no exit. there is no way out for you and there never was. you couldn’t die if you wanted to. the narrative has a hold on you and it won’t let go. death is too sweet a doom for you. the story has something much worse in mind. there is no way out.

it's actually really embarrassing how you're trying to flee my haunted castle right now

[vampiresque]

it's because you're always in that damn coffin
