The Vampire Khufu
By Raymond Mayotte
Copyright ©
2005/2007
In the black of the night does a figure stand
A creature of darkness
that once was a man
Alone and forlorn for his deeds he must pay
For
all of eternity in the dark he must stay
Lust for immortality and power and greed
Much more on earth than a
man does need
A king and a Pharoah was his claim to fame
The mighty
Khufu of Egypt was his name
Now in the deep depths of dark lonely nights
In cemeteries of
solitude shunning all lights
He moves among markers all made of
stone
Hail to the Pharoah that must now be alone
Great Khufu or Cheops whatever is thy name
To man kind here you’ve
only brought shame
Now every day you must rest under the sod
Finding
that immortality belongs only to God
Excerpt from the Book
One evening Khufu awoke in the early darkness of the
cave to sit and enjoy the panoramic view outside,
while the last rays of sun faded into evening shadows. Winter
snows had melted now and a gentle spring was nearing its
end. Above blue sky was softly melding into gray as the sun
set behind the mountain, while a deep, silent, hush hung
expectantly in the air.
Staring out to catch the last glimpse of
color before darkness descended, he suddenly tensed at the
slightest movement of air outside the caves opening. Instantly he was on
his feet ready to defend himself, as a large black bat dropped from
above to hang suspended close the mouth of the cave.
For a time
the bat hovered there menacingly, its huge leathery wings silently
fanning the air effortlessly, its eyes peering directly at him with a
deep intelligence within. Instantly Khufu knew here was the presence
hunting him, and although he tried he could not enter into its mind.
'The Legend Of The Vampire Khufu' takes you on one of the most exciting
journeys of your life. Not only will you share this five thousand year old
vampire’s existence, but you will actually be part of him as he passes
through phases of history. In your heart and soul you will experience his
adventures, loves, passions, hates, companionship and revenge. In the
scope of it all you will also become immortal and travel the old and new
world to many strange and exotic places.
Arising as an immortal vampire from the cold stone of the great Pyramid
of Egypt, Khufu, the once mighty Pharaoh, believes he can exist in the
world of mortals with impunity and dignity. This soon changes when he
learns of another powerful vampire out to destroy him, causing him to
remain hidden in deep shadows along with other foul creatures of the
night.
However he quickly learns that solitude is a much more
formidable enemy than the other immortal, the loneliness at times almost
driving him mad. Many years later he becomes involved with a mortal woman
he learns to love and would like to spend eternity with, but before he can
make her an immortal she dies.
Devastated by this Khufu shuns
mortal company for thousands of years, until in modern times he finds a
woman he believes is his love re-incarnated. However, about the same time
he finds the woman his enemy finds him. What follows will keep you unable
to set the book down until you have read the last page.
