The Adventures of Mikey Way: New Vampire
Introduction
"I look around and only see darkness. I feel like it's swallowing me, making me feel disorientated. I try to sun but something is holding me down. Or maybe someone. I hear whispers, but nothing clear. A weight on my throat makes it hard for me to breathe. I struggle to get it off but it won't budge."
Mikey woke up screaming, thrashing to remove himself from the tangle of sheets. He managed to calm down before he woke up everyone else in his apartment building. He lay back on the bed breathing heavily.
"Just a nightmare. Just a nightmare", he tried to reassure himself.
After a few minutes of just staring at the ceiling, Mikey rolled off the bed and stood up. He stumbled into the kitchen in his small apartment. The early morning sun streamed through the windows, reflecting off Mikey's most precious possession, the coffee machine. Even this small amount of light gave him a headache. He looked at the clock on the microwave to try and figure out just how early it was. The numbers 5:03 am blinked up at him from the tiny screen.
Mikey groaned. It was too early to do anything, especially for Mikey. He was still getting used to the idea that the sun could kill him, easier than it could kill a human anyway. He turned on the coffee machine and the wandered over to the fridge. He pulled out a can of blood, emptied it into a mug and put it into the microwave. While he waited for the coffee and blood to finish, Mikey went to his bag to retrieve his glasses. He doesn't actually require glasses to see anymore, not since he was turned. Mikey's newer glasses allowed him to walk around during the day without the sun burning his eyes.
Mikey was lucky that he had glasses before the change. You see Mikey wasn't very good at remembering he was a vampire. He always forgot to do normal vampire things like put on suncream, so he always got (minor) sun-poisoning. Mikey wasn't stupid, he just forgot. He had only been a vampire for a year and a half. The change from a human to a vampire at the age of 21 didn't have a huge effect on Mikey's everyday life. He already spent most of his time indoors, he already wore glasses, and he already survived mostly on liquid (coffee, blood, not much difference).
Unfortunately, Mikey's forgetfulness always landed him in some sort of trouble.....
