The timelines that bind the story together are awfully complex and makes it really hard to understand the plot in full.īut fear not, for after extensive research, that may or may not have been fueled by the finest third-grade narcotics that $5.67 can buy, I have managed to compile and explain the whole thing. But that story is somewhat complicated, being centered around time-traveling vampires and all.
