Nontraditional Families #4: Thomas Fitzgerald
Let's talk families with a bite. For years now different people from all over this crazy planet have been stepping out from their "Anne Rice" novels and proclaiming their status as the new age Lestat. Well have any of us thought what of the family members behind them. October is a time of magic, all hallows eve, and lets face it, with a statistical rise in crimes around that time of year, a reason for all those crazies to come out of hiding. Talking to one of my local odd ball families about their lifestyles I was lead into the world of self blood drinking, ritual nightly sleeping in a coffin and a Gothic style of clothing. One thing through this lets call it experience I noticed that yes their untraditional and behind there "walk of the lonely ones" these people pay there bills, go to parent teacher meetings and do the weekly shopping, all these "normal" everyday tasks but with a non-conformed idea of life and how it should look. Although I cant give their names I can honestly say, I was squeamish about blood but I found happy children and loving parents, far from the crime ridden life's of some poor little children and divorce courts. What this world will always see as the "normal" family and the white picket fences, I now see that the old adage is true, you really cant judge a book by its cover.
