 The streets were dark and empty with soft rain falling, generating misty shadows.

She pulled her worn coat tighter around her frail body.  She seemed to walk with purpose but in actuality had no where to go.

 Midnight passed, the darkest hours to follow.   She found an empty alley and
followed its depths to the end.  She crouched in a corner, backed against trash cans.  Rats squealed, protesting  her intrusion.

 Footsteps approached.  He had finally found her.  She knew screaming would do no good.   She stood bravely and faced him seeing his fangs gleaming in the dim light.

  “It’s time.”
