Indistinct engine revs and tire squishes could be heard from a distance as few to diminutive cars sped by on the highway. From the horizon, a mix of red, orange, and yellow beams of light could be seen as the sun ushered in the new day. The small still scattered cream-white clouds decorated the dark blue sky as the wind mooched around. It was around 6 o’clock in the morning. Thomas woke up and walked across to the well-crafted windows made specifically for a vampire’s warren. They kept the hot dangerous U.V. rays out of the domicile keeping the vampires safe.
