We held out for as long as we could. We tried to destroy them with nuclear warfare. More innocents paid the price than the enemy. Fire decorated the sky like fireworks. The only thing left in the bomb's wake was the human silhouettes of the sacrificed. Permanently branded into the cement. The silhouettes told stories. A mother shielding her baby from the harsh reality that they were about to be vaporized. A father lying to his son telling him he was going to be ok, and to just look at him. Protecting him from the knowledge that both of them were about to be sent straight to the void. All because of a man in a suit gave one command.

None of that matters now.

We lost.

The last remnants of human life are clinging to life, patethetically. No more rations. No more water. No more hope. I'm holding my gun now, with just one wish. To take as many of these fuckers I can with me. I see it now. The night sky covered in a crimson hue.

Blood moon.

Humanity's final battle.

The Vampire Lord crumbled the note and it turned to ash in his hand.

Along with humanity.
