I'll be working here forever, at least until I die.
Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't
I'm supposed to get a raise next week, you know damn well I won't."
-Huey Lewis And The News, "Workin' For A Livin'"

"What big eyes you have
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad
So just to see that you don't get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a ways"

For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night"

He'll take you for all that you've got
He'll hand you a curse that'll be with you later
It'll shake you the way he takes off like a shot"

"It's a scary scary world
and there are scary scary things
werewolves in the night
and vampires with fangs
Oh I want to live in a peaceful world

"I want a new drug
One that won't go away
One that won't keep me up all night
One that won't make me sleep all day"
-Huey Lewis And The News, I Want A New Drug

"In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning
And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be
It scared me out of my wits
A corpse falling to bits!
Then I opened my eyes
And the nightmare was me!"

I decided, after much deliberation, to once again split the chapter into two pieces. Partly for length (this one reached over 7,000 words), partly because I found some good music to preface the first half. Like, really good music, that fit way too well with a part of the update. Here's a hint:

Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are"

Stuck between his teeth
A vague sensation quickens
In his young and restless heart
And a bright and nameless vision
Has him longing to depart"

In the darkness with your love,
Trembling in the night
That can never happen on the sun"

Feel free to imagine our vampire dressed all in green, feeding on a Leprechaun. Just because.

Chapter 4

"Oh the reflex what a game he's hiding all the cards
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark"

To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait, and all will be revealed"
-Led Zeppelin, "Kashmir"

"Holy Diver
You're the star of the Masquerade
No need to look so afraid, jump, jump!"
