In a hidden underground bunker beneath the Manzanar
Internment facility, a slender man with shoulder-length brown hair rolled in
vertical curls sat on a red velvet throne, sipping blood from a golden goblet. The
prone body of a nude man, his throat slit, lay on the floor before the throne. A
diminutive soldier with brown curly hair, dark eyes, and a prominent nose
approached slowly.
“Was there something you required, Elias?” the vampire
inquired, picking a grape off its stem with slender, spiderlike white fingers
terminating in red-lacquered nails. He had a thick Romanian accent, and his
manner of speaking was staid and formal.
“Yes sir, your Majesty. I think you ought to know that there
are newcomers on the base, and I think they may be time travelers.”
“Time
travelers?” the vampire scoffed. “What makes you suggest that?”
