Tour of Terror - a paparrazzi who smells blood - called a "Skeeter" - after bombing victims, etc... satiated on pain - "Life is good."
lives off of others' pain, etc., emotional vampire who feeds on the darker stuff - a professional war photojournalist - piggybacks on trauma/crime scenes. "My people are ancient, but solitary. We suffered greatly ourselves after WWII, due to an unprecedented population explosion thanks to the Nazi Holocaust. the creatures "bud" off when sufficiently sated on pain - occasionally perversions are born among them - to our people - who we humans call saints - follow this thread.
twist up the conflict between an hip, grizzled and typical skeeter and a perversion that it births. balance between surfeit and budding is a sexual tension that releases/organic fucked up internal conflict between sexual pleasure (as the impetus to bud) and the loathing of a competitor, much less fear of birthing a perversion - flowing and moving through space and time, shedding children like a tree sheds its leaves. when first born, children are bound to their local territory - when older can wander out of home area and go "rogue" - "an old name for us is skeeter but we don't suck physical blood - we can, however, be draining to our food."
