I sat crouched on the jagged brick wall, the night winds cool, tainted breath running through my hair, causing my jacket to make uneven waves around my still body. The cities heavy music of traffic and chatter making its shrill way to my abnormal ears. My calm, motionless body keeping stationary until I heard my signal, my assured fingers being the first to brake my statue like stance, reaching in my pocket and grasping a small box and taking out a single cigarette out of its depths.
     My other hand busied on finding something in the litter next to me that was flammable, finally plucking a single strayed match out of the jumble, I ran it along the rough stone beneath me and upon hearing the satisfying hiss of fire I brought the glossy flames to my lips where the cig now was and let it light the end of the tobacco. Inhaling deeply, I parted my cracked lips for the smoke to escape out, feeling the fire of the match abruptly reaching my long fingers my eyes darted to my hand, sure enough the flames were licking at the extremities of my fist, carelessly I watched the show of my icy flesh being eaten by the tiny conflagration, until I heard the low whistle from the other side of the alley I was above.
    Hastily I dropped the match in the grubage and grasped my cigarette, gripping it between two fingers while I prepared my lifeless body for my soon-to-be jump. My freakish eyes--hidden under shades--quickly darted around the deserted alley beneath me, seeing nothing but stray papers being crashed into the walls by the much to harsh wind, until finally my eyes stopped on a something else...something that had a heartbeat. My pale features slowly twisted into a sadistic smile as my mind went on hay wire, letting my grasp on reality slip away while I thought of the best way to take my next victim.
     The melodic tapping of high heels amongst uneven cement dragged my attention back to the situation at hand. Smiling I sucked in the polluted air of the city and let my cruelest laugh ring through the concrete valley below me, hearing my voice echo off the walls and run its icy talons through my preys body.
     I watched gaily as my next meal stopped and turned restlessly in place searching for the source, for they thought  they were alone. Such ignorance, don’t mortals know that they are never alone? I laughed again and smiled freely as I merrily stood up and danced on the edge of the building I was on, whistling while teasing the buildings edge with my steadfast feet making my boots tap mercilessly against the stone.
     My fangs glowed in the moonlight as I saw my contrivance take affect as I watched my prey frighteningly become aware of my presence. Giddily I took a step forward, spreading my arms out I felt my body fall through the stale air, my jacket sliding up my body until I was wrapped in a black cocoon of the thick material. I was weightless, sailing through the air, my body crashing against the air currents, my boots tearing through the imperceptible fog. I smiled, a heartfelt curve of my thin lips for the first time in to many moons.
     But soon the curve of my lips turned cruel as I felt my feet slam against the concrete bringing my body beating down atop of my booted bones, but it brought me no pain. Lazily I cast my eyes to my two fingers making sure my smoke was still intact, upon seeing it there I dart my shade covered orbs to my dinner.
