REAL

"Just Beneath"

by Jennifer Bryan

Vincent slid the ten-foot Crestliner along the small sandy nook and into the calm water off Small Cove Bay.  The beach didn't have a dock since most of its residents didn't have an interest in boating, fishing, or even swimming, so implementing a formal docking system was a waste of money for the small vampire community.

He pushed off from the shore and motored slowly out of the cove and into ocean waters.  He looked over his shoulder for Hanzi, but the cliffs were empty.
