“I want to be like … There was this silent man at a party I once went to somewhere near Vesturbæjarlaugin. He barely said a word all night but still everything revolved around him. The women tried to catch his eye, the men tried to make him laugh. But he just sat there silently—and for some reason we were all convinced that he must be the smartest man in the room.

“Those are the options?” I scoff, irritated by my present circumstances. How can we be so stuck when we’re meant to be these immortal and all-powerful beings with literal fangs and endless bloodthirst? For God’s sake, they just slowly drained a man dry in the comfort of their own home and fried up his remains with a houseguest present like it’s nothing. But we can’t relocate?!”
