The world carries on without you.
- Vampire: Used cars--
- Me: Is [S.] available?
- Vampire: Oh, hey, what's up?
- Me: I didn't realize it was you--you're alive!
- Vampire: What?
- Me: I've been trying to get a hold of you for a few days--
- Vampire: You never left a message or sent me an email.
- Me: I was just worried. I called but you never answered. I thought you were dead.
- Vampire: What! No. People like me don't die! Trust me, I've been trying for years. Besides, you would know if something happened to me--you have that intuition.
- Me: Which is why I thought you were dead. Something feels wrong. So everything is okay?
- Vampire: Sure, everything's fine. Nothing's wrong. I just work all the time. I'm always here. I did miss a spot check the other night though but it's not a big deal.
- Me: Okay...I just had a weird feeling...but now I know you're alive.
- Vampire: Yeah, I am. Look, call me back later.
- Me: Bye!
