She works nights. She sleeps days. She drinks whiskey, smokes like a chimney, and does not like being touched.

Tonight the local loan shark's goons come to collect.

COLD BEER — splatterpunk vampire short. Out now on Amazon & KU.

For the first time in her life, Cobeah felt alone. Even in her adolescent years, sailing coastal shoals and open seas, there had always been a crew at her back, ship-timbers creaking in rough harmony with her orders. Now there was nothing. Yet Queen Disaya had asked her to endure, and Cobeah had promised she would. She roamed the water-hewn halls, lost, searching for anyone she could trust. “Hello?” she called into the empty corridor. “Where is everyone?” Voices answered from the darkness behind her, but Cobeah refused to look back. Her footsteps splashed through thin sheets of water that veiled the floor; the echoes behind her did not always match her stride. The ghosts of those she had failed followed, clamoring for justice and their chance at restitution. Assassins wandered in her wake, cradling their severed limbs and heads. Dead members of the Royal Guard shouldered each other’s weight, limping together to keep pace.

Mother made us hold the baby while she filled the grave.

He kept reaching for her.

“Don't let him touch me,” she said.

Beneath our feet, his little coffin began to split.
