Zander threw open the doors to Good Eatinโ€™s, a small restaurant established an entire year prior. He removed his top hat and bowed to the middle-aged hostess. โ€œThatโ€™s right, it is I,โ€ he announced.

He held up a hand to wave off the attention of a young couple and their daughter waiting to be seated. โ€œNo flash photography, please.โ€

The hostess glanced at the confused looking couple, then cocked an eyebrow at Zander. โ€œCan I add you to the waiting list, honey?โ€

He guffawed. โ€œIt is I,โ€ he said again.

The hostess shrugged and shook her head.

Zander huffed and strode over to the corner of the restaurantโ€” gathering a small crowd of people behind him. He twirled with a flourish and gestured towards a framed dollar bill with a caption that read ๐˜–๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜š๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ.

โ€œOh, you were our first customer?โ€ the hostess asked.

Zander chuckled and beamed. โ€œI am the grandson of that very man!โ€

The hostess scratched at her forehead with her pen, and asked, โ€œSoโ€ฆ were you wantinโ€™ me to add you to that waiting list or not, honey?โ€

Isa had all of the symptoms:

 โ™ฆ Aversion to daylight
 โ™ฆ Fading reflection
 โ™ฆ Insatiable, hollow hunger
 โ™ฆ Friends instinctively shied away

Every day became a struggle to appear normal. To stay awake.

Father's warning had not truly prepared Isa for the family curse: depression.
