And yet, I still have to pay my rent by working at Feedworthy.Our latest escapade begins as a simple intrigue, a quest to uncover the mystery of a missing ship. Embarking across the mist-covered waters of Lake Michigan, I feel something pulling my psyche down into the depths below. With Brother Aleister's cryptic insights and Vic's mystic skills, we navigate through fog and secrets, uncovering truths not just about the lost ship, but also about ourselves. The journey tests our resilience, binding us together in our quest and revealing the intricate layers of our relationships.In this entwined existence of vampires and humans, I find myself grappling with unexpected charges of heresy, tied to a birthmark I've carried all my life. This mark, a crescent moon, now casts me into the depths of vampire lore and personal revelation. It's not lost on me that my two vampire companions sometimes look at me with hungry eyes.
