Las Vegas. Get rich or die trying. Like New York, it never sleeps, and like everywhere else on the planet, it has its secrets, only mine are more…let's just say, you wouldn't want to cross me in a dark alley.
In my unmentionable years, I've seen cities rise and fall, seen the world a dozen times over, but something always brings me home. Some will call what I have a gift, but I'm nothing more than a curse, a demon, the bringer of death. I'm feared though you never seem to understand why, that's the way you were brought up so its hardly your fault. I may not be the only one of my kind, but I am unique. And done the one thing I swore I would never do, broken the only rule I ever made.
I've fallen in love with a human.
She's young and free to live as she chooses, but I can see it in her eyes and thoughts, even when I know I shouldn't look, she wants what she can never have. Me. The things that I have done are unforgiveable and if she knew, it would break her heart. I'm a monster. That's why she can never find out what I am, why we can never be.
My name is Gilbert Grissom, and I'm a vampire.
