In a time, before time was measured, on an island that later, when time was measured, broke up to form the land masses (continents) that are known today; lived a very lonely vampire. Legend has been told of well - we can’t pronounce his name without the installation of an extra nostril in our ear canal - Bob, to his mates - of which he won’t have any for some time. Not because he is an entirely unpleasant being, more so that he is the only being in existence, another term that was not around when he was sitting on the lonely mass of land waiting for time to begin being measured.

This of course was an impossible coincidence, since there was not yet such a thing as walls, bottles, 98 or even beer (for that matter); Bob suffered a miniscule paper cut from the cards.
