It can only be killed by beheading, fire, a wooden steak through the heart or sunlight. It is allergic to holy water, crosses, and garlic. It can't enter a home unless invited.
1) So how long do you think it would take humans to kill off all vampires, presuming everyone got the memo and believed in them?
Wooden bullet machine guns, curfews, holy water pump guns, garlic curtains, and flame throwers are all on the table. And anything else you might plausibly invent.
2) Would the effectiveness of holy water and crosses make you rethink the god question? I'm thinking I might really consider it.
given the human response to predators? We would be more unified then ever and probably do it inside the week.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
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.
