As a kid, I would go to restaurants and my parents would never let me get garlic bread. I couldn’t go to my best friend’s communion, I had an ‘asthma’ attack, and to top it off, I got really bad sunburns every day, unless it was pouring rain. I figured it was all just coincidence, funny things for you and your 15-year-old friends to laugh about, even earned me the nickname “Dracula”, which I must say, was sick to hear across the corridors. However, I’m now 17, sitting across from my parents, wondering why my parents had hijacked the family meeting I called.

“We know why you’re here,” My mother began, “we know what you need to say.” A rush of relief passed through me. “It’s time we tell you the truth.” My father chimed in. …huh? “You’ve clearly figured it out, but we’re vampires. Yes. We are so sorry we didn’t tell you sooner son.”

My jaw drops, eyes bulging. “What do you mean we’re vampires?” I half yell. “That is what you wanted to ask, isn’t it? Listen, Micheal, we figured you’d want to start bringing girls around and other things, but we needed you to know this-“ My mother began, I cut her off. “No! That’s not what I was going to ask at all!” My parents look back at me with shock. “Mum, dad, I’m gay.”
