When I awaken, the first thing I do is feed.
You have heard tales of the vampyre, but I am older. Like him, I awaken in the night.
One of my favorite shapes is the hyena. For his strength and ability to survive in climates like mine. His cunning and sensitive nose catches the scents and tracks the prey.

I am ghūl. And your grandfather is delicious.
What are the things you need to do within 30 minutes of waking up to ensure your day gets off on the right foot? What happened the last time you didn’t do one of these things?
Hey, ya gotta try to make something out of these weird prompts. Can’t introspect ALL the time.

Well, the old geezer was pretty yummy.
Great ending!
