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

Our presentation of the weapons for Operation Holy Water via the double tap method had some pretty mixed results. Maaka and I demonstrated the freeze gun, which was really a modified squirt gun we found in a blown out box store in the city, sanitized until it was free of impurities, and filled with supercooled water that only got to subzero temperatures with the application of a salt/ice bath. Maaka shot the gun at my feet, freezing me in place and giving me a second of absolute, completely illogical panic. That burning cold, it reminded me too much of not having the ability to move my legs. 


I looked up and saw Nori’s eyes, trained on me. It reminded me I was here, with her, and I was okay. 


Maaka invited the Cauldron up to touch the ice, to see how strong it was. When I finally broke out of it, the bottom of my pants shattered into shreds, so frozen the fabric cracked apart as if it were glass. I was still standing. It is good to be a vampire.
