An interesting short story.. I definitely had the vibes that Luella was a vampire. Each character that dies basically has the life essence "sucked"out of them. The story also shows that the upper class women were taught to be proper , pretty, and not capable of doing work. The ending was not what I expected!

I agree, spidey, she really reminds one of a vampire.

Some definite vampire or parasite vibes to this story.
