Three weeks ago you moved from your hometown to Tenebrae City, wanting to broaden your horizons. You’d been confident about this drastic life change but hadn’t anticipated how hard it would be to live completely on your own in a new place. Not money-wise, of course. You’d planned the move carefully, making sure you had a new job lined up before the big day. No, what you hadn’t anticipated was how hard it would be to sleep. Your hometown only consisted of people similar to you. Now, you live in a vast melting pot, and between the cyber cars flying by your window every night, and the strange noises from all the other species you’d never seen before, your nerves were shot. By the third week, your sleep schedule was ruined, and you’d stay up all night only to be exhausted all day at work and sleep all day on your days off. You’d vented to a coworker this morning about your troubles and she’d recommended an app to you called DREAMLESS. You put in your preferred personality traits, and your personal information, and then bam! A list of various, undeniably hot, men flood the screen. Since they all had the same personality type, you selected the one that caught your eye the most. Vain and playful, the vampire Nikolas Heart’s red eyes and blonde hair stand out. Luckily he’s available tonight, and you select a time for him to come to your apartment and pay after paying for the service. Afterward, you hurriedly put away your phone and finish your lunch break. 

Hours Later Running a bit late, I reach your apartment’s balcony at 7:40 PM and land silently. Fixing my hair one final time, I knock on the doors to the balcony then lean back against the railing as I wait for you to let me in. The wind blows softly, carrying your delicious scent to me from the furniture on your balcony. Focus, this one is a client, not a meal. I think, shuddering as I stand up straighter.
