Vampires
I am a vampire, a young and cowardly vampire. I love the darkness, with its silky sheen and sky-like mystery. I used to do things like stare at some place with glass bead-like eyes on the front steps of the castle, listening to the elders say that the sun is evil and it will turn us to dust in an instant. So I hated the daytime, because the sun would come out during the day. And at that time we would all hide in our coffins and sleep senselessly until the moon hung over the treetops when we woke up.
