Welcome, welcome, I can only guess you are here to read about my wonderful adventures. Oh, you don’t know who I am? Well, I’m Foxx Honeywell. An adorable, fierce vampire with a kink for violence.

He was Adam. He was straight. He was just my friend. We weren’t actually dating. This was the year that my Mom’s guilt trips finally worked. I was going home for Christmas. Although the prospects of this trip didn’t seem too great. I hadn’t been home since I’d come out as gay a few years ago. And I certainly wasn’t planning on bringing anyone home with me.

I'd lived my whole life with a terminal illness, knowing I'd never be normal. I existed, taking it one day at a time with my dog as my sole, faithful companion.

I'd never believed in magic before I met him, but now, I wasn't so sure.

I’m a total nerd, but I look like a jock. I had a perfect GPA in high school, and my GPA in college is perfect too. I smile when I’m supposed to smile. I have two loving parents and a brother and sister who are always by my side. I’m the perfect all-American guy. But the only thing that actually defines me is the before. The things I keep hidden deep inside because I’m too afraid of losing what I have now. The past lives deep inside me as I force the plastic smile on my face. And no one sees through it because I’m just that good.
