Wearing her best dress to church, Serendipity tossed dark curls at Andrew. He smiled. She smiled back. "How old are you?" "14. Vampires only count centuries — Look into my eyes; see my vast past; the path of your new future." Original 68 words: Serendity wore her best dress to church on her birthday. She flaunted her dark curls at a young man in the back corner pew. He smiled. She drew closer, squinting her eyes. "How old are you?" "Vampires only count the centuries. Single digits means you're still young. Are you a teenager yet? Look into my eyes and see my vast past... and the short path of your future." |
