Vampire vocab #4

Today’s Vampire vocab word was suggested by my brother, so here it is…

Oblivious!

The definition is…

ob⋅liv⋅i⋅ous

/əˈblɪviəs/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [uh-bliv-ee-uhs]

–adjective

1. unmindful; unconscious; unaware (usually fol. by of or to): She was oblivious of his admiration.
2. forgetful; without remembrance or memory: oblivious of my former failure.
3. Archaic. inducing forgetfulness.

Origin:
1400–50; late ME < L oblīviōsus forgetful, equiv. to oblīvī(scī) to for-get + -ōsus -ous

Related forms:

ob⋅liv⋅i⋅ous⋅ly, adverb
ob⋅liv⋅i⋅ous⋅ness, noun

The sentence is:

Joe was oblivious to the vampires presence up until the point when they bit him and drained him dry.

(I’m sensing a recurring theme among the sentences I write. They all seem to end with the silly mortal dying.)
