This is a spinoff story of Lefitte the pirate vampire who dwells along the Gulf Coast. The original series was about the Voodoo Queen but this series will only refer to her without any inclusion in the scenario. The lair of Lafitte is in a basement under hallowed ground so it is relatively safe from most predators. His supply of virgins is assured because of favors granted to the Voodoo Queen and his clan harvest new sources of blood at least once a week in the French Quarter.
It's a straight science fiction story. Simon, the protagonist, woke up alone. Very alone. He could not find another soul so he went back to where he was the most comfortable--the family farm in the Ozarks. There's very little dialog and what may be considered a depression-fuelled break in the story.
This is a variation of my short story Born in David's Basement. It concerns Michael and David and their frustrating relationship, where David is hopelessly anti-gay and Michael is hopelessly confused. Enter Michelle, his alt-universe alter ego who saves the day. Read my note to the reader at the beginning of the story before reading.
