I was out on my dog's evening walk when I spotted my neighbour, the vampire.

"Long time no see," I said.

"I have been brooding."

"Oh dear!"

"You know, about how my very existence is built on evil."

"But you're feeling better now?"

"I realised, at least I'm not a billionaire."

@MicroSFF i first misread this as your neighbour being a talking-dog who is also a vampire, but it’s still good the other way too
@MicroSFF Actually, if vampires are immortal, having lots of money might be a practical necessity.
@mbrailer @MicroSFF Yes AND one wants to keep a low profile. Keeping it to eight figures or so will give you the income you need without attracting too much attention. If we live long enough but are dumb enough such that trillionaires become a thing, then maybe getting closer to B-territory might be a thing, but basically whatever is needful to live comfortably, privately, and not have to worry, but not so much that one worries more...

@MicroSFF Evil is not what you are; it's what you do.
