The weeks went by in a peaceful blur.
Zell was getting pretty good at guitar. He was even making some money from songwriting.
My woodworking improved just enough that I could scrape together my rent from furniture sales.
Our neighbor Caleb, also a vampire, would come over to practice sparring with Zell, but Zell was terrible at vampire duels. He lost every time.
And I didn’t have anything against our neighbor, but sometimes Caleb would creepily watch us…
…and then he’d smirk, as if he knew some secret about us. It made me just a little uncomfortable.
But, I think, for the first time in my life, I was happy.

I decided one day to harvest fruit from Zell’s weird tree and make him a salad.
“Thoughts?” I asked.
“Benji,” replied Zell. “This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my entire life.”
I believed him, too, because he ate three more bowls of it in one sitting.

“You saw that, didn’t you? I’m getting pretty good…”

That last shot of Zell looking so proud of his bar trick is priceless!
