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 dart in, grab Milo, and get him out of there. I take him through the tunnels and into the razed city. I run for a while, speeding through the remnants of roads and over new plant growth growing in the cracks between concrete monoliths leaning drunkenly against each other. At the very edge of the city, I set Milo’s wasted body on a sturdy hunk of drywall, shaken out of a building. 


Although I want to sit beside him, enjoy the very sight of him, I won’t do that. We have to discuss what comes next. I have to give him the option to go back, to admit this was a foolish request made by a desperate man. 


“I can’t believe you’re here,” he says. 


Then he adds, “I can’t believe I’m here either. I never thought I’d see the moon again.”
