It was the year when democratic states of Europe formed a military alliance with North America and called it NATO; it was the year when USSR successfully tested its first atom bomb; the same year Indonesia became independent from Netherlands. It was the year when Chinese communists won Chinese civil war and the same year West and East Germany were formed. It was the same year when Aleric left his town for a job; it was the year when he last saw the love of his life, Ruth. The year⦠1949!
Aleric felt something was calling him back to his hometown. It wasnât his friends, they all died long back, neither it was his family, nor that house where he grew up; he didnât desire to see the banyan tree he planted in the garden when he was young. It was none of those things, he was certain that it was his childhood love. It had been 60 years since he last saw her before leaving the town. The kiss goodbyeâ¦. âShe must be oldâ a smile ran across his young slender lips. He peeked out of the cabâs window; it wouldnât take him longer to reach to his destination.
The cab driver surely felt awkward to Alericâs pale skin and black gothic cloths, but the fact that Aleric only wanted to drive at night was the creepiest of all. Firm tone, short blonde hairs and a bit long nails than people would call normal. All those little things about him certainly made the cap driver suspicious but who believes in vampire anymore? Also, not many offer to pay twice for the meter.
