The world has ended, and most of Earth's human population has been wiped out. Soon only vampires will be left, but that's a problem in itself. What will they eat? Who will they hunt? Nori and her new lover, Milo, are going to save the planet: so they can devour it.

"The first day passes, and she's the only thought taking up space in my mind. I have to remind myself to keep the fury burning, to not let it cool into acceptance. It's not about her. It's not about me, either. It's about them. My family. They shouldn't have gone out like that. I've got to do something about it. If I have to choose between my faith or action, I've made my decision which side I'll come down on. My faith wasn't solid ground anyway. Years of war have worn away at it."

My Vampire Nurse

The new soldiers in the ward aren’t well. They sleep a lot and when they do, the nightmares drag them under. One calls out for his mother, his voice cracking and hiccuping on whatever memory is terrorizing him. Nori answers, never waking him, but showing up to his bedside to hold his hand and murmur soothing words. His day nurse, Rachel, mostly ignores him. It’s not a physical wound, so I guess she doesn’t have a responsibility to soothe it. 


Ryan, the soldier who helped me to the sink, regularly comes and lifts me out of bed so I can join him at the card table. He comes to get me one day, but I wave him off. 


“I don’t feel like playing,” I tell him, my voice a rough bark from disuse.
