->There was an old proverb his grandfather had taught him when he'd been a boy: "Take care what you wish for, Tenn - you might get it." Now he understood exactly what that meant.

->[[VampireVannabe You look like a vampire, you dress like a vampire, you act like a vampire, you immerse yourself in vampire chic]]. And now I've introduced you to a vampire - a real, dead vampire.
