Winner of the 2023 Queer Indie Awards for Best Web Serial!Stranded mid-ocean on a small cargo ship, former passenger Carmen finds herself trapped alone with only 3 chickens for company… and sailor-turned-new-vampire, Cort. While she doesn't know exactly what Cort is, Carmen has seen first-hand what these blood-drinking beasts can do, and she's not taking any chances. She's devised a foolproof method - sleep while the sun is up, shoot the vampire in the head when the sun goes down. It takes him nearly a full day to heal, so there seems to be no downsides... until the two start talking, and Carmen is faced with a choice: keep killing him and die alone, or let him live and risk dying at his hand.Chapters will have relevant content warnings listed in their author notes.
