These vampires don’t sparkle.

They don’t brood.

They don’t love you forever.

They hunt, maim, and destroy.

Across the US, children & teens, stepped into the streets to confront the regime and ICE. In places, they were so young they required police escorts; in others, they stood their ground as MAGA extremists attempted to intimidate them.

Michael works as a lone wolf, seeking to bring the oligarch, Gregory Lockwood, down one chunk at a time. He considers the work worth doing, but his reasons for beginning it are very personal.
