Maybe you were needed
in another universe,
which is why we couldn't
have you back in this one.

I hope that you're happy
where you have ended up
in your world—

And I know you are still stalking
vampires and facing monsters
that would leave grown men
quaking in their boots,
because you were never afraid
to confront the worst of the worst,

and even when you were,
you were brave enough to do it with
a sharp quip on your tongue;

Keep slaying!
