Attached is a copy of the original, unpublished short venture, “Old Wounds,” which I submit for your consideration for (sic) Total Quality Reading Stories .
Synopsis
Vic, an injured tough, brings his old companion Lupino, a corrupt police officer, to arrest a mysterious man whom Vic claims attacked him. The two begin to suspect that Raecher is a forgotten figure from their dark mutual past who has altered his appearance to make himself appear to be a vampire—an embodiment of vengeance. A verbal duel for dominance soon explodes into life-or-death violence.
