Ruby-Drops

Katelyn's picture

He
reached up
to his neck,
feeling
for the
warm,
pulsating liquid.
He took back
his fingers
and stared as the
ruby-drops
fell from
the tips.
He smiled with
grim satisfaction
and collapsed
to the ground.

Strangely this automatically makes me think of vampires...strange.
But I think it really has some potential. If you could describe a bit more about the character or scene. Elaboration could really take it farther!!
