They can't. Stepping outside during the day will burn them into a crisp. I saw it once, when the Mayor decided to punish one of her own my staking them in the middle the of square and then making people watch as the sun set his skin on fire. A shiver runs down my spine at the memory. At times like that, I'm glad I'm not a vampire. The line for blood donation is particularly long today. I sigh and push a hand over my face. I have to text my boss and let her know I'm going to be running late. Thankfully, she'll understand. It's a hard life being human in ...

It's barely been three years since I set up my own brothel, I'm still at the stage where I don't want to do anything that'll ruin my reputation.
