2007 Anthology

Jimmy had arrived recently from the Pacific islands of Kiriwati. Then he starts working in a building site in the island of Cambria where he met another boy, two years older Dave, who shows a proverbial bulge in his trousers. Then, after some days of Dave wooing Jimmy, they passed their first night together in the single bed of a rent room. The day after, they had a conversation that is the stuff of this story.

December, 2023 was a high point in eighteen-year-old Kevin Lewiston's life. He'd finally lost his virginity. For the first time in recent memory he didn't get a 'C' or a 'D' on his report card. His parents gave him their old Chevy Equinox for Christmas. Everything was looking up for the young man.

The calendar changed. Kevin's world changed. By June, he was on the verge of giving up. Then he saw something on TV that changed his mind; saved his life even. He packed everything he needed or cared about into his car, hit the road, and never looked back.

Finally fed up with the lies and the divisive rhetoric being cascaded down on the severely uninformed population...one vampire decides to take his companions and a few savage Nosferatu variants to a local news station to bring an end to the farce and finally get them to tell the truth. Will they finally admit to being puppets and stooges to a higher power? Or will they face the horror of being ripped apart by the very monsters that they choose to ignore?

The moon was shattered and her rose broken.
