Hot plum pudding with brandy sauce. Pumpkin pie, fresh out of the oven, melting into the custard. Home-baked cookies, or a cake cooling on the counter. You can smell them before you even see them.

Or maybe it’s red wine steeped with cinnamon and cloves—the siren song of mulled wine calling you home on a winter’s night.

Croissants in Paris, still warm, with real butter and even more real European coffee—dark, rich, and blessed with that smoky caramel scent you only get from beans grown halfway across the world.

Roasts. Gravy. Toasted bread. Spiced fruit. Deep-fried anything.

The Challenges of Serial Lives Management For any long-life species – vampires being a perfect example, but others abound – passing as a human in a world that doesn’t suspect their existence poses a number of challenges.  Close to the top of the list (just behind the 11th commandment) would be how, when and where

Is it Worth The Time, Marrying Ephemerals? If you’re blessed with long, long life, is it fair to marry a short-lifer?
