The waves lap onto the beach and retreat back into the bay. The clear
water lures the humans here even in the darkness of night. The sand warms their
toes as their laughter fills the air. I see them just over a hundred yards
away. It’s an easy distance to clear. There would be blood staining the white
sand before a scream could even escape their lips but tonight I am sitting on
the beach, trying to feel human in my cold skin.
Blocked by the clouds, the moon strains to cast its light on me and warn
the humans of the nearby danger that is me but like most humans, they are
distracted, missing the most obvious things to see. I try to focus on the waves
pushing onto the beach but the young woman’s playfully scream grabs my
attention in an instant. I watch the man she is with spin her around, baiting
me and my mouth waters at just the thought. Tonight, I wanted to feel human but
in this moment, I just want to feel a human between my fangs.
