Today was the day I was waiting for all my life. The day where I would be safe from the disease that anyone can be struck by at any given time.

Every citizen is Silver Crown is supposed to go through an examination at the government’s headquarters to see if they qualify for the experiment or if they are better off with getting the vaccine.

It was an aphorism murmured in the sticky summer of 1864 as the Civil War tore America apart—and it was a truth that had only become more evident in my more than twenty years as a vampire. Every time I picked up the paper, there were stories of humans fighting humans: brawls on the streets of San Francisco, uprisings in India, insurrections all over Europe. And once blood had been shed and graves marked, they’d start all over again.…
