The concept of living to see every advancement of human society has splintered into literature and folklore in many different ways. Perhaps the most beloved lore that’s been spun out of eternal life has been the vampire. The vampire is probably most appealing because the vampire isn’t hugely enviable, so it’s not a wish-fulfillment fantasy. To maintain eternal life they must pierce the neck and suck the blood of a living human....
