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 numb except for this hunger. It’s rage and need and violence all rolled into one. There’s a red haze over everything, and I can see details that’re wildly distracting. Each fissure and crack in the bricks that make up the floor. I could count the individual sand grains in the grout. All the individual follicles of hair on the woman in front of me stand out in sharp relief. 


The woman. She smells delicious. I am hungry. 


I’m ravenous. I need to eat. She sounds good. 


Who am I? I am hunger, its avatar. I need to paint this room in red. I want to bathe in her blood. 


Blood. I listen for her heartbeat. It’s not there. Why doesn’t she have a heartbeat?


I’ll have to tear her open to see why it doesn’t beat. 


Who am I? The question keeps nagging, breaking through the red fog of fury. I am someone. I must be someone. 


Her. She’s still talking. I don’t understand. She should be afraid, not speaking in that calm, unfazed voice.
