When I was still a human, I was but a young and innocent soul in a small village, nestled amid rolling hills and ancient forests. Unaware that our peaceful existence was on the verge of being shattered, we fell victim to the relentless onslaught of vampires. Vampires, driven by an insatiable hunger, descended upon us relentlessly.

"I understand that next week you will be moving away from Shakespeare and jumping into Gothic horror literature ... just in time for Halloween." General interest spiked. Halloween was a favorite holiday for most students. Me? My life was already a nightmare. Who needed costumes when real monsters were already roaming our town?
