Nobody would think that Rufus was 187 years old from just looking at him, but he was a vampire.
Because of his age, he had to life through two world wars.
Their tendency to solve problems with violence was the reason he came to hate humans
That’s why he choose to move to the countryside.
He even chose to drink animal blood to avoid humans altogether.
There, he liked to watch the stars with his second pet turtle Arthur.
He often read classic English literature to him, but Arthur got even more animated with modern fantasy novels.
Until one night he woke up craving ice cream instead of blood.
The blood moon always gave him weird cravings, so he had to figure out how to get what he wanted.
Since the store was closed, he tried making it himself… but that didn’t turn out so well.
Then he tried breaking into a neighbor’s house where he could smell the ice cream in the freezer… but that wasn’t a good idea either.
Until he finally considered asking a human for help again, remembering his past connections with some of them.
He decided to give it a try and he knew just the person to approach.
He had seen the security guard reading a lot of nights – a hobby right up his alley.
Once he had explained his cravings to the security guard, Kevin, he immediately tried to give Rufus what he wanted.
So finally, Rufus got his ice cream! And he gained a friend as well.
