He slumps into his Italian sofa, throws the remote on the couch, and contemplates what he witnessed the other night. "That winged creature looks familiar. I think I have seen it before when I was younger." There was a full moon that night. Mark is the only one left in their mansion with their Maids. His parents attended an important dinner function at the Moonstar Hotel by the Bay Vie
