SAVIOR BY DEFAULT: By Acquanetta M. Sproule

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

The last man on Earth was quite insane.

Or insanely brilliant.

He’d stumbled on their plan to use his sperm to breed with the remaining human females’ harvested eggs.

 People factories were being readied.

 Humanity would be saved.

 Their way or his way.

 He’d secretly prepared, all the time playing the helpful human, seemingly grateful for their intervention.

 The arrogant S.O.B.s suspected nothing.

 What could one, inferior member of a race that had allowed itself to be nearly exterminated do?

 They blinked and he was gone.

 Holed up with one of their weakest.

 Eventually, the vamp would either drink him to death or turn him.

 Such is their nature.

 Either way, Humanity’s humanity would be saved.

BLIND: By Acquanetta M. Sproule

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011

Chuckling to himself while he watched the fog sink and thicken, Cheshyre decided he’d seen way too many horror flicks as a kid.

The warning lights winking atop skyscraper-perched antennae slowly obscured, hidden, forgotten.

The elevated train swallowed, sound and all.

Streetlight’s lamps final curtained, no encore.

Finally, settling, collecting at street-level…massing, massing.

Read. Set. Go.

Roiling grayness gamboling along the roads, boulevards, streets, alleys, until outside of Cheshyre’s windows seemed like a wall of liquid pewter.

Cheshyre went to bed bemused at his own whimsy, confident that the dawn would burn away both the fog and the remnants of his own childhood apprehensions.

Morning came and went and came, but daybreak never came again.

And the screaming began and continued for a long time.

Then stopped.
