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 use my fingernail, just a quick puncture, and I've opened a small gash in the brachiocephalic vein. I feel the first sluggish drop of blood seep out. Vampires don’t gush like humans. There’s no heartbeat to move the blood. Unlike feeding from a living person, our blood needs suction in order to remove it. 


Milo sits up, the motion tearing a groan from him. I position myself over his lap, careful not to jostle him too much. He hurts, and I’m sure having a woman perch in your lap isn’t exactly soothing. I’m not convinced I won’t have to coax him to drink. After all, plenty of people would find this utterly repulsive. However, as if he were a rusty machine, he creakily bends his head to my neck and pulls the blood into his warm mouth.
