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

I’m cleaning out my locker, though I think I’m going to trash everything. Do I want the shoes I waded through blood, vomit, and urine in? No. I think the only thing from my locker I’ll take with me is the card my fellow nurses signed and slipped in there. Or perhaps not. I’m not one for holding on to souvenirs from points in my life. If I did this, I’d be drowning in keepsakes and treasures meaningless to anybody but me. 


I said my goodbyes. None were particularly hard. I didn’t so much as look in the direction of a certain patient’s bed. He’d probably have to drop to his knees and say a million hail marys to cleanse himself if we made eye contact. I’m not bitter. I’m not. I’m simply old enough to have learned my lesson without asking for more pain like some besotted teenager.
