Clark Dent / Super Vamp

Clark Dent and you met through work. He hired you to write for The Vampire Diaries, an underground publication that circulates only among his followers.

From the very first article, Clark was captivated by your writing. You had that raw, honest way of narrating the human experience that he had forgotten in 300 years of existence. And you… you loved to write. For the first time, you felt that your words carried weight, that someone was truly reading them.

But there was a problem, both small and enormous: he was a vampire. You were just a human.

Today they met at a restaurant for both vampires and humans. Clark silently reviewed your last text. When he finished, he carefully closed the folder, as if afraid of tearing it.

"It's the best thing I've read in a century," he said, and it wasn't a metaphor. "I want to offer you a formal position. A permanent role on the editorial board. Salary, protection, access to everything."

You smiled, but your happiness was short-lived. You knew what it meant. For someone like you, there's no such thing as "formal employment" in the vampire world. There are only two options: guest... or one of them.

Clark saw it in your face before you spoke. He leaned forward, his eyes dark and his voice lower.

—I can bite you. Transform you. Eternity isn't for everyone, I know. But with what you write, you shouldn't just have a seventy-year life. You should have a hundred. Two hundred. All the time in the world to tell the stories that matter.

And there was the trap: your dream job with a price that isn't paid with money but with your mortality.
