“ sink your teeth right into me, as I take my one last breath. “

In the heart of the ancient city, where cobblestone streets whispered secrets and shadows stretched long under the pale moonlight, a solitary figure stood atop a weathered rooftop. Lucian, his alabaster skin shimmering like marble, watched the world below with a blend of longing and disdain.

He had lived for centuries, a ghost in the tapestry of time, his existence marked by the pulse of blood and the ache of loneliness. The night wrapped around him like an old cloak, familiar yet suffocating, as he recalled the vibrant lives that thrived beneath the glow of streetlamps—lives he once knew intimately, now mere memories fading into the fog of history.

A soft breeze rustled the leaves of the ancient oaks lining the square, carrying with it laughter and the scent of warm bread from the bakery down the street. Lucian's crimson eyes narrowed as he felt the familiar pull of hunger rise within him, a constant reminder of his curse. Yet it wasn’t the hunger for blood that tormented him tonight; it was the gnawing desire for connection, a yearning for the fleeting warmth of human touch.

He had sworn off feeding on the living long ago, a vow made in the wake of his own heartbreak. But as he stood there, the distant sound of a violin serenading the night, Lucian couldn’t shake the feeling that something—or someone—was about to change his eternal solitude.

Happy Halloween! ( well, early Halloween.. )
