My Totally Unplanned Vampire Vacation

Syl is a college student, due to her lost I'd that was later found at a science fair when Ivren, a theoretical physics major, approached her. He had developed a prototype time-travel device-a concept that currently existed only in the realm of imagination. Surprisingly, his invention worked uniquely for Syl, a fact he couldn't explain.

Their initial tests involved two brief five-minute trips: one to 19th-century Western Europe, and another to 18th-century Eastern Europe-a remote village nestled in the Carpathian Mountains. It was during this second journey that Syl encountered a man standing in the mist, their gazes locking in a moment that profoundly affected her. The village itself felt ancient and steeped in folklore, the air thick with the scent of woodsmoke and an underlying sense of mystery.

Driven by an inexplicable connection to this stranger, she felt an irresistible pull to return to 18th-century Eastern Europe, despite the risks and the fleeting nature of their time. This pull felt like destiny, even if the memory of the man faded upon her return. The experience would leave an indelible mark on her life. This extraordinary event, born from a chance encounter and a revolutionary invention, became a pivotal moment for Syl-a testament to a connection that transcended the boundaries of time and space. The stark beauty of the Carpathians, the weight of centuries-old traditions, and the lingering sense of the supernatural all contributed to the intensity of her experience.
