    It was a dark and stormy night when it happened. Damian Wolfe, 16, walked down the same ally he always walked on the way home from church. Suddenly he stopped. In front of him, he saw a glint of gold. It was a small gold coin, but not any coin he'd ever seen. It had a strange creature engraved on the front. The thing almost looked human, but had long, pointed ears, a forked tongue and large fangs. Beneath it were strange symbols, he had never seen before.
    Suddenly, before he could react, he felt a fiery pain in his throat. He realized that something was attacking him. The thing had it's fangs stabbed deep into damian's throat. He tried to struggle, tried to break free, but he couldn't. The last thing he thought before he passed out was, "what a crappy way to die."
    When Damian awoke he found himself face down in the ally. He rose slowly to his feet. Feeling a throbbing ache in his neck, he remembered what had happened. He reached up and touched his throat. When he pulled his hand away he was surprised by what he saw, or rather, what he didn't see. Blood. He looked around for any sign of his attacker but saw nothing.
    Then he realized something that surprised him. Though it was still night, he could see as if it were twilight. He heard a shuffling noise and spun around. All he saw was a small rat over by the dumpster. As he marveled at this, he began to wonder why his senses were so enhanced.......



    At the same, across town, Joel Spencer was closing up his small shop. The little store had been there for over 75 years. Joel's father had built it, run it, lived in it and taken care of it untill he died. Now Joel did the same.
    He was just about to close up for the night, when he saw a strange man walk through the door. The man was tall and thin, with curly, red hair. His eyes seemed red in the light from the neon signs. "Hello, can i get you anything?" Joel asked. The man smiled and answered in a heavy british accent. "Yes, i think you can." With that he leapt over the counter and went straight for Joel's throat.
