Mr Dellon, I have information which will be important for you. Please go to address listed in my last email; I cannot give information on phone. I know what you are, Mr Dellon. Please. 

[PHONE HANGS UP]

ALFIE

For fuck’s sake. 

[THUD]

[A DOOR OPENS]

NEIGE

Everything okie? 

ALFIE

Ah, yeah. Just got another one of those weird voicemails. 

NEIGE

That is what you get for giving out your number the way that you do. 

ALFIE

I need people to be able to reach me safely, anonymously if they have to. Everyone’s afraid. I need to make that as small a barrier as I can for people reaching out. 

NEIGE

Ah, it is a noble project you are proposing, but the vampires, they will not talk to you yet. It is too soon. They know you have human friends, still living their human lives. 

ALFIE

So I’m supposed to sit and wait patiently until everyone I know is dead?!

NEIGE

Non. But I think it may mean you need to rethink your, ah, approche tactique? It is a big risk for to share our stories, even anonymised. Whether or not you say it aloud, you are asking people to expose themselves to the world, and the world is not fond of us. 

ALFIE

Visibility is vulnerable, yeah. But if we want acceptance, if we want rights, first we need to show people we exist. We’ve always existed, humans just haven’t really noticed. 

NEIGE

All I am saying is that this process will be slow, mon raleur. You know this. 

ALFIE

I know. Sorry. I’m just. Annoyed. I get excited every time there’s a message on the voicemail thing but it’s always just these bloody—! like for real, I do not actually fully understand what they’re expecting me to do. 

NEIGE

But he is giving you clear instructions, non? Go to this place for more information. 

ALFIE

I can’t just go to a random internet cafe in Amsterdam because a nameless voice instructs me to. 

NEIGE

And yet I get a sense that each time you get these messages you get closer to doing it. 

ALFIE

I’m not going to go. 

NEIGE

Perhaps not. But what if it is the beginning of what you want? What if this voice on the machine is a vampire who is willing to talk about his story with you? Hmm?

ALFIE

I thought you wanted me to be patient. 

NEIGE

I do, but I am being an, ah. How you say? Advocate for the devil? 

ALFIE

Darling, you’re always advocating for the devil. When was the last time you put on clothes? 

NEIGE

Nudity is not sinful, I will not allow this nonsense into my home. Anyway, you will do as you like, regardless of what I say or think. You have proven this to me. I am simply attempting to be a good and supportive lover to you. Is there harm in this?

ALFIE

No. No, there’s not.

Also! Another one of my shows, Remnants, is returning today for its second season. Remnants is a dark fantasy mystery show about a guy trapped in a strange, dreamlike space filled with objects which hold the memories of the dead. He doesn't know why he's there or what the purpose of searching through these objects is, and the only person he has to help is the mysterious and obtuse Sir, who is some kind of... thing. There are already 30 episodes out, plus today's brand new 31st episode. Here's the trailer for Season Two. Don't worry; there are no spoilers for S1 here, just vibes. 

TRAILER:

[WHOOSH]

[MUSIC BOX STARTS]

SIR

Does it worry you that everything is different? 

APPRENTICE

Honestly, I think it would worry me more if it was the same. 

[WHOOSH]

[MUSIC BOX STARTS, SLOWER]

‘Who are you?’ he asks.

‘I don’t know anymore. I’m not sure I ever did.’ 

[WHOOSH]

[MUSIC BOX STARTS, EVEN SLOWER]

APPRENTICE

No it— well it is your fault, frankly, but there’s no point in getting angry with you about it. It’s not like you remember anyway. 

SIR

I remember we were here and there was nothing. I remember you spoke about the Remnants. They tell stories. You said that to me.

[WHOOSH]

[MUSIC BOX CRANKS, BUT DOESN'T START]

Remnants returns for its second season on 6th October, 2025.

It’s a really stellar show which explores identity and self-discovery, family loyalty and devotion, and it has some lovely accompanying artwork. There is just one more episode of the show left to come, and it’ll be out on 19th of August, which means you have plenty of time to catch up on the first six episodes, but won’t have to wait long for the story to be completed.

A transcript for the episode you're about to listen to is in the description below. You can find more of the show wherever you listen to podcasts, including where you're listening right now, by searching ‘The Holmwood Foundation’. It’s the show with the sketch of the dismembered head on the cover. That's 'H-O-L-M-W-O-O-D Foundation. The Holmwood Foundation! I hope you enjoy listening to this first episode of the show.

I think started out to write my own obituary. To make sure that something of the truth would be left behind when I was gone.

It’s been a research diary, a regular diary, a place to hold my thoughts. A place to hide. To bury myself in my own thoughts and feelings instead of facing up to what was lying right in in front of me. A way to hold on to the present. Desperately clinging on to now so that I don’t have to think about what comes next. A place where tomorrow never really comes.

Well. Fuck that. Nothing is forever. Not even vampires. Tomorrow is coming if I like it or not.

My name is Alfie Dellon. I am a vampire, and I’m recording this so I can take it with me into whatever comes next.

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

Transcript Below

ALFIE: Recording for posterity, I guess.

At some point in the last few days, I don’t know when, I can’t remember because--

It doesn’t matter why. But I drank approximately 1 litre of vampire blood, with a view to. In an attempt to. Because I was trying to become a vampire.

I did this because-- because otherwise I was going to die. I didn’t make this change lightly, I wasn’t coerced, and I’m not dead, and I think-- I think it’s worked, but it’s like. It’s not as total a transformation as I was expecting. I’m… well. I’m definitely different. I feel like I could snap a tree. But also my entire body hurts and my throat feels like it’s on fire and it has since-- well. Since I ran out of the blood bags in the fridge. I even tried drinking some saline but--

ALFIE LAUGHS

Yeah that didn’t help, didn’t help!

There are no studies about this. No records of the change. I recorded what happened after I drank the blood, but I’ve not listened back to it yet. Maybe I should have had a video feed or something, but I… I don’t know.

I can feel the places I was injured before. It’s less pronounced, for sure, but I can still feel them. It’s like. I don’t know. It’s like it’s not happened all at once. I don’t know what I was expecting. It’s pretty dramatic but--

Mmmf.

It doesn’t feel total. It doesn’t feel complete. I don’t know how to articulate this.

I can smell every person in this apartment building and oh god.

It’s so odd because they don’t smell different than they would have before, you know, I can smell a small and it’s the smell of people. Obviously I couldn’t smell anyone through walls and ceilings before so there’s that but also like. They smell. Good. Appetising.

Saying they smell like food is missing something fundamental about how much like people they smell, they do not smell like a roast dinner or something they smell the same as they did before only now? Now I want to eat them.
