That evening, in the hospital's morgue, Theo finds himself naked on a metal table and much less dead than most people had been led to believe earlier.
In fact, he's feeling quite alive.
Theo becomes a vampire
Yep! If he runs in that direction (and maybe grabs a snack on the way) he should reach it in, like, two minutes tops.
Well he'll only find one unless he takes a detour from the direction of the nice desert.
(niiiiice desert is that the suuuuuun that is not the sun that is the mooooooon moon moon moooooon)

Ugh fine he'll grab one and then run to the desert and hope there's another available somewhere.
There... isn't, unfortunately, but there is the desert! It is large and he can find out what his top speed is and there is wind and moonlight is beautiful!
in-the-breeze
Ooh!
What's his top speed? Not that he can really measure it precisely but is it 'whee' or is it 'wheeee' or is it 'wheeeee'?
in-the-breeze
Aaaaah this is wonderful.
He's just gonna keep doing this for a while because eeeeee running.
in-the-breeze
He keeps doing this for a while!
… For a long while!
… It actually continues to be fun for a ridiculously long time, after which he decides that he hasn't actually tasted anything recently, so he tries to lick the sand.
in-the-breeze
He… he is not going to talk to the sand.
That would be weird.
Instead he is just going to hug the sand, naked.
Cozy sand. Snuggly sand. Comfy sand. It is very good sand. It does not seem to mind that he won't talk, and is content in hugging him.
in-the-breeze
Aaaah.
After a few minutes he gets back up and runs around again anyway. He is really buzzing.
in-the-breeze
Whoa. He knows it does that but still, whoa.
He will keep running for a while. Is there anything interesting around? Ooh, how do different bits of sand taste?
Only slightly differently! Barely noticeably differently! There are some plants there, too. Very few, but some.
in-the-breeze
Hm. Interesting.
He'll keep running around for– well, yep, a few hours. Then he'll decide he wants to hug the sand a bit more, lie down, and do so until he falls asleep.
He'll wake up before sunrise. Maybe it wasn't as late as he'd thought it was, or maybe he was less tired than he thought. Or something.
in-the-breeze
And then: he looks around at where he is and notices that he's naked on some sand.
Hm.
He'll just hug the sand for a little bit. That sounds like something he should… probably do… for a bit.
