She had a very refined palate thanks to being a century old, give or take a few years, although just by looking at the young woman it was impossible to tell.

The only drop of color on her person was from her dark red shirt. Her hair was black as the nights she lived for, and her eyes a hypnotizing sea of stormy blue surrounded by thick dark lashes. Victoria had been quite the beauty in her day up until she was robbed of life and reborn into a world of darkness and hunger. Eventually she learned to love it but that had taken a while. This particular backwater town was small and quaint. She liked that for a change of scenery now and again. Now, the only pang of her former humanity she ever felt was when she traveled through historic Baton Rouge where she grew up at the turn of the century. At present, the…

Born Unbiased “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite,” says Nelson Mandela.
