How High The Moon
Many years have passed since both horrific creatures, Count Dracula and the Wolf Man, fell over the cliff's edge, plummeting into the sea below. Never seen or heard from again.
But as it was said, time and wars proceeded to pass throughout the globe. While this cursed man's battle never ends.
Witness the horrors of a desperate man that defines new meanings such as, love and happiness, for his restful end.
If only that where true. To finally have my soul released from this misery, this burden... This curse.
I then chuckle, before frantically saying...
But, I can never die.

The Artist
No one knew his name, they simply called him the artist. He would breeze into town every few months and offer to paint their portraits.
At first, people were eager to oblige, sometimes lining up for their turn. It was deemed a great honor because the paintings were so lifelike.
But soon they learned about the dark side to having their portrait painted. People stopped trusting the artist and would run away whenever he appeared.
Anytime the artist painted someone, that person became an instant celebrity. The attention it brought was a tremendous burden. They preferred to live in obscurity.
