Fulton Heights, Illinois
Now
The only thing worse than living in a vampire town is having
to take Algebra I for the second time. While living in a
vampire town. I have a quiz tomorrow on exponents and
square roots, and literally the only thing that will keep me
from failing it at this point is if I get eaten by one of the
undead on my way to school in the morning.
To make matters worse, Fulton Heights, roughly thirty
minutes from downtown Chicago, isn’t even one of the cool
suburbs. All we’ve got is a dying mall, a nexus of weird,
mystical energy that attracts monsters, and a handful of
abandoned buildings the municipal government can’t afford to
tear down. Hence the real source of our vampire problem.
Empty warehouses make great hideouts for creatures of the
night, who need proximity to their food source (us) and a safe
place to sleep during the day.
I seriously don’t understand why we can’t just move
somewhere else, but my parents refuse to discuss it. Right
now, going on minute twelve of my agonizing attempt to solve
for x on question number eight, I’m not sure if dying doesn’t
have a certain amount of appeal. Reviving a lost argument
might be pointless, but it is distracting, so I shout from the
kitchen, “Why do I have to learn this stuff when I could get
vampired at, like, any moment?”
“About three people in Fulton Heights die from vampire
attacks each year, August,” my dad calls back from the living
room in his stop-being-so-dramatic tone. “That’s less than the
number of people we lose to heart disease, cancer, and traffic
accidents. It’s not even in the top ten causes of death for the
area! Stop being so dramatic.”
Like that’s supposed to make me feel better. Pretty much
every Fulton Heights resident has those statistics memorized,
but for most of us, it’s cold comfort. Vampires aren’t wild
animals that kill indiscriminately, and most of them are smart
enough to know that it’s in their best interests not to rack up a
huge body count and give the frightened townsfolk a reason to
get all torches-and-pitchforks about them hanging out in our
long-shuttered glassworks factory. But we don’t exactly have
an armistice, either.
They still need to eat, and we’re their favorite entrée.
Okay, unlike what you see in the movies, they don’t tend to
chase us down dark alleys and tear our throats out. A little
Undead 101: Along with their superstrength and eternal youth and all that business, vampires also have this special mindcontrol thing that makes humans all docile and aroused, which renders us easy pickings. You meet a cute boy, he smiles at
you—and the next thing you know you wake up all lightheaded with a great big hickey and a pint of blood missing
from your veins.
