If you really want to hear about it, you'll probably want to hear about where I was born and what my childhood was like and how it was I wound up becoming the way I was and all that kind of crap, but I don't want to get into it, if you want to know the truth.

I'll just tell you about this crazy stuff that happened to me a few decades ago. You won't believe it, but I guess that's what makes this a great story to have to tell. So I was getting ready to leave. I knew I didn't love my vampire mate, Maria, and if I told her, she'd give me the ax. By that, I mean she'd kill me. So I was waiting to leave, you know, and I started thinking about all the people I'd killed, so I just left the goddamn place. Maria would look for me later, I knew, but I would pretend she wasn't coming.

So I was on my way and all that, and I didn't know where to go, but I figured I'd keep wandering on for a while. So I did.
