[ WP ] A young cancer patient is sick and tired of all these damn celebrities popping in for surprise visits .

Wendy could hear the entourage approaching.. again. Cameras in tow, publicists. It had become a regular ritual for her, as soon as she'd start feeling better, she'd get visitors. This time she was n't going to be passive, she was alert and paying attention. She'd palmed her meds this morning so she was feeling a little sicker than usual, but definitely more alert. 
 
 The doctor opened the door with a flourish as if presenting something to his guest. In walked the Starlet, wearing painted on Jeans and an leather jacket festooned with rhinestones and a low cut blouse. She did n't dress up for Wendy's sake, that was for sure. 
 
 `` HAAAAAeeey sweetness! How are you doing today?'' Big smile, from ear to ear, staring right into Wendy's eyes. She approached. 
 
 `` Fine, I guess, all things considered'' 
 
 `` I know darling.. you're so brave.. so brave. I ca n't imagine what it must be like to be stuck in here all the time. The doctor said you've been doing better though, is that true?'' She seemed to ask almost eagerly. 
 
 `` Yeah, my numbers are a bit better, I seem to be responding well to treatments.'' 
 
 `` Ohh.. ohh!'' She closed her hands around Wendy's and shut her eyes and tilted her face upward `` I can tell that's true, Wendy.. I can feel it''. 
 
 Her eyes snapped open, so, tell me something about yourself, what are your hopes and dreams? I want to know how you're going to be more famous than I am when you get out of here. 
 
 Wendy knew the game and she would n't stop until they sang a song together, or connected over the memory of a loved one or she read her poetry. It was always something. This time Wendy had a plan to try. 
 
 `` I want to be a writer'' 
 
 `` Oooh! Cool! I love um... books and stuff. My latest movie is based off a book I think! Although I think we changed it a bit but tell me about it!'' 
 
 `` well, you see, my book is about Vampires'' 
 
 `` AWESOME! I love vampires! My friend Brad was in a movie about Vampires and he was so sexy in it... maybe I should introduce you to him! Would you like that?'' 
 
 `` Umm.. sure, well you see these are n't normal vampires, they do n't drink blood, they drink life itself.'' 
 
 `` haha.. uh, what? That's not a vampire babe, that sounds weird. I think you should stick with what works''. She had let go of her hands now and was staring back at Wendy. 
 
 `` Oh, well you see, these Vampires soak up the life from people but it's too obvious to do it to healthy people so they go out of the way to places where there's famine, disease, old folks' homes. Even hospitals. You know, where people are expected to be weak and die, so they do n't raise suspicion'' 
 
 The Starlet stood up and stared down at her. She was n't smiling anymore. `` I think I've tired you out, I need to go. Goodbye Wendy, I hope to see you again.'' And with that she walked out the door and was gone. 
 
 Wendy sat silently for a moment. She definitely felt worse. Was it the meds? Or was her theory correct? If so, she now knew why all the celebrities came to see them, why so many went to Africa or disaster areas. They were n't helping, they were feeding.
