Skin Trade (Chapter 2 Spacing Fixed 23 July)

It's become a harsh reality for creatures that feed on the blood of the living. The trappings of the modern world have made finding victims that won't be missed when their bodies are found much more difficult than ever before. For those that have the means, it has become far more practical to keep human slaves to sate their hunger—and not only their hunger for blood. There is a fortune to be made in capturing and training such unfortunate souls, but not all of the undead are fond of the practice.... These are the chronicles of the lucrative skin trade at its height in the twenty-first century.
