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 walk into the salon and help Milo into a seat. I take a few steps to the left and lean against a wall, staying in his peripheral vision but allowing the Cauldron to focus in on him. He’s quiet but somehow manages to look unperturbed. I notice that he takes a moment to make eye contact with everyone but Weston. 


The silence falls, and it’s a sort of vampire silence that isn’t found in human society. Normal people fidget, whether they’re talking or not. Humans will cross and uncross their legs, adjust their clothes, crack their knuckles. Humans breathe, clear their throats, touch their hair. This is not like that. Everyone is utterly motionless. I give Milo enormous credit. He doesn’t fill the silence with unnecessary words. He waits, loose and patient, until someone cuts through the dead air.
