Warnings: None ... I think. >.O
Summary: Being a traveling salesman is never easy ... especially not when you end up at a strange castle, just as darkness begins to fall.
Legal Stuff: As always, this story is intended to express one fan's genuine appreciation of the character Dracula, and the myths and legends surrounding him. It is just for fun and not for profit. If you have any rights in the character described here and find the posting of this fanfiction offensive or harmful, please contact me, and I will be happy to remove it. Max Greene is my original character, so, of course, he belongs to me. (Poor Max.)

Really, he had just glossed over the words as empty, meaningless description, ignoring them in his haste to get to the next bit of action. They had meant nothing to him, other than a bunch of "blah-blah-blah" keeping him from the good parts of the story.
