1. Swallow your pills. There were exactly 27 pills to keep me happy, healthy, and docile. I took them one by one, each gulp sounding like a concession.

Hidden in the back of the cabinet was my toothbrush. 2. Brush your fangs. I took out my invisibility toothpaste and carefully brushed the tips of my fangs so they wouldn’t be visible to the average human.

Guilt swept over me as I remembered the last time I had forgotten to brush my teeth and take my pills. Slashes of red tore at my peripheral vision, the memory threatening to overtake me, before I shook my head and headed to the fridge. 3. Eat your breakfast. I pulled out the nondescript white container, and swallowed the contents in three gulps.
