Constraint 280

The Boy Stole the Vampire’s Money and Ran by Matias Travieso-Diaz

The youth’s escape saddened Lucrezia. They always fled. 

She sat at her balcony while another Roman night fell. There were rumblings at the Termini station, as trains departed. 

Her current train was gone. But life must be replenished forever, despite its disappointments.
