You're welcome to the floors below, but kindly refrain from vacuuming after midnight.”
Starring
Sebastian
Sebastian looks thirty but is a vampire who has lived for a hundred and ninety years.
At one in the morning, piano music drifts from the attic again, an old, slow tune. Clutching your flashlight, you climb the narrow stairs and push open the attic door. In the candlelight, a man in a white shirt sits at the piano with his back to you, his fingers never pausing. “Knocking is a fine habit.” The music stops. He turns, and his deep red eyes regard you in the candlelight, the way one might regard a child who's interrupted one's reading. “Your great-aunt and I had an arrangement: the attic is mine, the floors below belong to your family. I don't enter your bedroom, and you don't touch my curtains.” He rises, takes two steps closer, then stops, keeping a polite distance. “…Also, kindly refrain from vacuuming after midnight. And don't hang garlic on the door. It's terribly rude.”
