If you see this, repost with a vampire that is not Dracula.
Still from the movie Vampire's Kiss. Nicolas Cage sits hunched forward on a bed while wearing boxers and a white t-shirt. His hair is disheveled. His mouth hangs open. A band-aid is on his neck. Jennifer Beals lays across the mattress next to him, turning and looking up at him and smiling, her gold earring hanging down.

Selection from the Dune Encyclopedia entry for "Butler, Jehanne". "Jehanne was trained as a priestess on Komos and also as a Bene Gesserit. Rather than following the career of a priestess, either from her own decision or that of her order, she married Thet'r Butler, the Logistos of Xania, one of the ten administrative districts on Komos. In the same year as their marriage, (205 B.G.), Jehanne went to the capitol of Pylos to enter the hospital for the birth of a child. Since both parents had married late in life for their culture, they were especially eager for this birth. When on the delivery table, Jehanne was anesthetized; when she awoke, she and her husband were informed that their daughter, Sarah, had been aborted. The hospital explained that the fetus had been too deformed to survive. The abortion was described as therapeutic. Jehanne's control of her own body, which as a result of her Bene Gesserit training extended beyond those muscle systems usually thought of as automatic, had permitted a deep knowledge of the growth of her child within the womb. She was convinced that it was impossible for her child to have been so grievously malformed as the hospital had described. In time, Jehanne came to believe that her child's death had at best been unnecessary. Using the access to official records provided by Thet'r's position as Logistos, she discovered within the archives of the hospital evidence that the hospital director — the first self- programming machine on Komos — had instituted a program of unjustified abortions."
