I went to the costume party as your classic Dracula. The "blah, I vant to suck yer blud" kind. Dance party, music, booze flashing lights. Girls in a variety of slutty costumes. I really didn't know many people were there. I wasn't exactly new, I had lived in the town many years before, but most of my older friends had moved or we had drifted.
It was a bit awkward, but I made some conversation, danced a bit, had a Halloween themed drink or four. Then I saw Kim.
