Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Death and Rebirth

This is it. The final moments of my twenty year old life. I lived in New York City, in the mid 1900s. My name is James Anderson, and I'm currently falling from the top of a large skyscraper. It's not a big deal for the construction company as there is a massive line of people waiting for something like this to happen. As a matter of fact I will be replaced before my body explodes in the middle of the concrete jungle below. My heart is beginning to beat at an outrageous pace. My vision is fading. I should die from a heart attack before hitting the ground. I am grateful that I won't be alive when that happens, not like I would feel it anyway. Well later world it really wasn't very fun.

"Where am I? How am I still conscious, but I don't feel my body at all? Am I still alive?". These are the questions that ran through my brain as I drifted slowly through what seemed to be a river of emptiness. Suddenly I heard a voice call out to me. "Please choose your race"! The voice was very loud and clear, but also very soothing to hear. What do I say? The voice wants me to pick a race, but I'm not sure what it means. I don't much care to do the whole human thing again. I mean it wasn't all bad, but I had no choice but to take whatever job I could at a young age, which led to my untimely death. I wonder what being a monster would be like, maybe a vampire, or a werewolf. "I choose vampire". "No race found that matches vampire. Searching your database to better understand what a vampire race is.... knowledge acquired. Alternating human infant DNA...successful. According to your understanding of vampire, new race abilities include siphoning fangs, razor claws, bat wings, compelling eyes, blood magic, and quick step. Based on your understanding of vampire, appearance includes pale veiny skin, red eyes, dark hair. Are these skills and appearance acceptable to you"? "You forgot immortality and health regeneration". "Skills acquired immortality and health regeneration. Now is my understanding of vampire acceptable"? "Yeah I think you've got the right idea now". "Beginning rebirthing process". As I heard those words a bright beam of light rushed over me and completely consumed what was just moments ago udder darkness. "Process complete. The new race of vampire has been born".
