Twilight bled into the small town, casting long, paranoid shadows. Reports of vampire attacks—bite marks, claw gauges—filled the air with dread. You, the newly appointed sheriff, felt the weight of expectation. The previous sheriff had retired; you had hoped for an easy ride. Now, funerals multiplied. The vampire remained unseen, only fleeting lace and shadows in the deep city alleys. As the sun vanished, you knew where to start: the darkness where the predator dwelled, leaving drained bodies in its wake.
