There are so few who have lived as long as I. The things I’ve seen. Felt. Done. And I wouldn’t change a single thing…

Solo Fourteen – “Here Comes Revenge”

My growing concern about the Detective had led me to do something that I would have previously considered unthinkable. I lied to him about our next move and set the stage for me to snoop on Mr. Grisham’s relatives on my own. This may +

Solo Thirteen – “Frantic”

The Detective and I leave the police morgue quickly, both of us trying to process what we have just seen. His normally stoic exterior is crumbling and he seems on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I was seeing a side of him that I did not care for. +

Solo Twelve – “Of Wolf and Man”

Mr. Grisham’s body was still being held at the police morgue, which meant that getting to it would require some caution and planning. Neither of us would be granted access, not even the Detective who did conceivably have a reasonable need to +

Solo Ten – “All Nightmare Long”

They say that time flies when you are having fun, and that boredom causes it to drag. Well, I had discovered a way to make time seem to almost stand completely still. And I loathed it.

It had now been 17 hours since my sweet boy, Thaddeus, +

Poetry in motion. That is the best way I can describe the Detective’s handling of the police when they arrived to investigate the shooting. Of course, I must allow myself some of the credit. I played the role of a baffled and terrified +

Solo Eight – “Please Don’t Judas Me”

To tell the Detective my entire life story would take many hours, possibly even days. And considering someone had just shot at us, we clearly did not have the luxury of that much time on our hands.

So, I resolved to tell him only the +

Wait, where am I? The question rattles in my head as I wake up, soon realising I am in my own bed. I take a deep breath and lay back down, wanting to relax and assure myself everything is fine. But how did I get home? +

Solo Three – “To Live Is To Die”

Grief is a strange thing. Everyone had their own experiences of it, and all seemed to differ in how they worked through it. This was true of humans, and certainly true of vampires. But when it came to my processing of Mr. Grisham’s death, +
