    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.
