You unzip Dr. Calderon's pants and grip his erect penis with your right hand. His six and a half inch length is a decent size.

He moans in pleasure as you begin giving him a rough hand job. Then his moans turn to ones of pain as you increase the strength of your grip. Your thick brown forearm is larger than most men's, and your incredibly well-developed forearm muscles dance and ripple with every movement.

"Mistress...Katarina..." moans Dr. Calderon. "How are you...so strong..." His raging hard-on throbs, clearly close to the edge.

You laugh. "I get that a lot."

Monica, meanwhile, is watching the scene intensely. Her breathing is fast and heavy.

"I wish my wrists were as thick as yours, Katarina," she says, placing her slim arm next to your thick one.

You smile at her. "I get that a lot too."

"Ugh...gonna...cum!" Calderon grunts. With that, he shoots off a massive load halfway across the room. As the post-nut clarity washes over him, the breathing of all three of you gradually returns to normal.

Obey Jessica's order and flee out a back exit

You flee out a secret rear exit with a few other civilians, including Brittany. Gary and Father Bennington are nowhere to be seen.

From below come gunshots, explosions, and other sounds of battle. You and the others do the only thing you can do. You wait.

Finally, a small group of five soldiers appears. You look at the leader, a sergeant. "Where are the others?"

"We're all that's left, ma'am."

You swallow hard. "And Jessica..."

"She heroically sacrificed herself by blowing herself up with a grenade in the middle of the largest group of vampires. After that, we survivors were able to finish off the rest."

Wiping a tear from your eye, you shake your head sadly. This group, once over a hundred strong, has been reduced to ten. Jessica, Gary, Father Bennington, all gone...

Brittany begins to cry. "What are we going to do now?"

You take her hand in yours. "We're going to fight," you say simply. You turn to address the whole group. "We have the knowledge about how to make the secret weapon. We'll find a new place. We'll make it better. And we'll make sure that our friends' sacrifices were not in vain."

Grieving over the loss of their comrades, but inspired by your speech, the group begins its retreat to the southwest, away from the front lines. You are filled with apprehension, but also with hope.

Prepare to make a heroic sacrifice to atone for not telling about the secret weapon earlier

You're not running. And you're not going to let any more of your friends die.

Taking a shortcut to the main entrance, you see several vampires preparing their gas weapon. Putting a grenade in each hand, you pull the pins and leap at them. The vampires whirl in surprise, but before they can do anything there is a massive explosion as you blow them - and yourself - to bits. The secret base - and the secret weapon - are saved.

Thirteen years later, after a long and bloody world war, the last of the vampires are defeated with the help of Gary's weapon. Billions of humans have died, most of them forgotten. Even most of the ones who made heroic sacrifices have been lost to history.

The survivors of the war do whatever they can to honor their dead comrades. A new military school for training the best and brightest is opened in Kansas, not far from where you made your sacrifice. Colonel Jessica Bell personally dedicates the opening of the Katarina Hart Military Academy.

Insist that Jessica keep the secret secret

"Please. Just keep it to yourself for now. Do it for me, please," you say.

"All right, Katarina. For now." Jessica goes back to her breakfast, but she eats much more eagerly now, and there's a light of hope in her eyes for the first time since you've met her. She finishes her food quickly, excuses herself, and heads out.

After finishing your own breakfast, you head back to the lab to continue your work. You feel better knowing that the secret weapon is on the right track. However, the good feeling is short-lived.

That night, a large, heavily armed patrol of vampires, drawn by the disappearance of the squadron you took out earlier and investigating the mysterious sunlight that temporarily broke through their black cloud, approach the area. Searching everything carefully, they discover the secret trapdoor and storm into the base, taking the outer guards by surprise and brutally slaughtering them all. They then push further in, killing as they go.

You rush to the battle. Using the power of your holy symbol, you are able to make a few vampires freeze in fear enough for you to take them out with your shotgun or your sword. Racing towards the sounds of more fighting, you step over many dead bodies in the halls, a few vampires, but mostly humans. The battle is not going well for your side.

Rounding a corner, you see Jessica wielding a sword in her right hand and a silver cross in her left. Several decapitated vampires and their severed heads lie near her. A towering, ancient-looking vampire approaches her. She waves her cross at it, but the creature simply laughs. "I am much to ancient and powerful to be affected by tha..."

The vampire's speech is abruptly ended as you fire your shotgun, blowing its head to bits. You rush over to Jessica. "Are you okay?"

"Yes. Thanks for the assist." She wipes a strand of auburn hair out of her face, then loads a nearby rifle and slings it over her shoulder. "Major Perlman and the other officers are dead. I'm in command now. We have about a dozen soldiers left, and I don't know how many civilians. I told my soldiers about the secret weapon when the attack started. It at least gave them enough strength that we didn't all get slaughtered."

You look down at your boots. "I should have let you tell them earlier," you say guiltily.

"Spilled milk under the bridge, Katarina. Now we just have to focus on staying alive."

A soldier rushes up. "Lieutenant, it appears the vampires are preparing to pump poison gas into the facility!" he shouts.

Jessica swallows hard before quickly hiding her expression. "All right, all soldiers, follow me! We're going on the attack. Katarina, go out one of the back entrances with the other civilians. Let's move!"

You watch as the soldiers quickly hurry off down the tunnel.

You know you promised to keep the secret weapon a SECRET. But as you look into Jessica's green eyes, you see a weary hopelessness that seems to grow stronger each time you look at her, as if she and her comrades know they're fighting a losing battle. If you told them about this, it would give them a hope that they hadn't had for years, perhaps decades. So you spill the beans to her.

Jessica's eyes grow wide. "Oh my God. This could change everything...I need to tell Major Perlman right aw..."

"Jessica, Gary wanted this to be kept secret. There's no guarantee this will work..."

"Katarina, we have to let the soldiers know. It'll give them the hope you just gave me."

You pause as you think about what path to take.

You promised Gary you'd keep this a SECRET. So you tell Jessica, "Gary was just thanking me for being the kind of friend to Brittany that he couldn't be." He really did tell you that, so it's not really a lie.

Jessica nods, then looks at her watch. "Damn, I have to go soon." She quickly finishes her food and heads out.

After finishing your own breakfast, you head back to the lab to continue your work. You feel better knowing that the secret weapon is on the right track. However, the good feeling is short-lived.

That night, a large, heavily armed patrol of vampires, drawn by the disappearance of the squadron you took out earlier and investigating the mysterious sunlight that temporarily broke through their black cloud, approach the area. Searching everything carefully, they discover the secret trapdoor and storm into the base, taking the outer guards by surprise and brutally slaughtering them all. They then push further in, killing as they go.

You join the survivors in fighting back as best you can, but the shock of the attack and the loss of most of their comrades causes the soldiers to fight almost halfheartedly, as if they know they are doomed.

As you and a few soldiers wait in a barricaded back room, weapons pointed at the door that the vampires are steadily smashing away at, you plan to make a heroic last stand for the ages.

You look closely at the black substance in the vials. "That looks like the artificial cloud substance the vampires have covered the sky with," you say. You then point at the colored substances. "Are those your formulas for attempting to destroy the cloud?"

Gary stares at you. "How did you know?"

You shrug. "Lucky guess."

Gary continues looking at you for a long time. Finally, he sighs. "It appears that my secret is no longer a secret. But I need you to swear not to tell anyone else."

"But why?" you ask. "This could completely defeat the vampires...it could..."

"It could bring false hope. If this doesn't work..."

"You haven't told Brittany?"

Gary shakes his head. "If she gets her hopes up, and then this fails, she'll be more devastated than anyone."

You nod slowly. "I understand."

Over the next few days, you continue to work with Gary, Brittany, and Father Bennington in the main laboratory, trying not to think about the secret room. In the evenings, after everyone else has gone to bed, you sometimes help Gary with his work in the secret lab.

One morning, as you are brushing your hair in the ladies' room, Brittany comes up to you. "What's in the secret room?" she asks.

"That room? Why are you asking me? Only Gary knows what's in there."

Brittany crosses her slender but muscular arms in front of her. "Katarina, you've been a good friend to me, so don't fuck it up by lying. I saw you go in there last night."

You swallow hard as you think of what to say next.

You continue working in the lab over the next few days, trying to forget about the secret room, hoping that something will turn the tide of this war. But it is not to be.

One day, a vampire raiding party discovers the secret entrance in the barn. Although the soldiers are able to wipe out the vampires before they can inform their allies about the secret base, your allies suffer heavy casualties. One of the fatalities is Gary. The secret of the locked room dies with him. You just hope whatever was in there wasn't critical to defeating the vampires.

Suppress your emotions and keep walking. This isn't your war

QueenNadine:

As much as you hate the two street thugs for what they're doing, you force yourself to keep walking. You're not the world's policeman, and you came here to solve a specific mystery, not to clean up seedy neighborhoods.

You go up to various people and ask about the Inca curse, taking advantage of your fluency in Spanish, but everyone you speak with denies knowledge about the curse or simply refuses to talk to you. Despite your command of the local language, you are still an outsider.

Finally, you decide to give up and head back to the hotel. It's time to call it a night, anyway, you think as you suppress a yawn. Looking at your watch, you see that it's almost midnight.

As you re-enter the hotel and head up to your room, you consider yourself lucky that you weren't mugged...or worse. Perhaps your choice of clothing that showed off your muscular body scared men off from attacking you. Your search was fruitless, but things easily could have turned out worse.

"Is Ancient Inca Curse behind Tourist Disappearances in Peru?"

QueenNadine — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 17:14:07 GMT

QueenNadine:

"MACHU PICCHU, PERU - Seven more tourists from various countries have vanished near the famous Incan ruins, marking the third mysterious mass disappearance from the area in as many weeks. Local officials have no clues to the whereabouts of the victims or the reasons for their sudden disappearance. When questioned as to whether foul play was suspected, the officials declined to comment. Other sources, however, whisper of a more sinister explanation - ancient Incan mummies and evil spirits, risen from the dead. Though self-proclaimed "respectable" scientists deny the existence of vengeful monsters, the rumors persist..."

You nod with interest as you continue reading. This sounds like the perfect choice for your first adventure. Movies like The Mummy and video games where you killed undead creatures have always fascinated you. You begin making reservations and arrangements, including for your home to be taken care of. You don't know how long you'll be gone. You smile with anticipation as you pull your suitcase out of the closet and begin packing.

Three days later, you're on your way. From Charlotte, you fly first to Miami, then to Lima, the capital of Peru, and from there to Cuzco, the nearest large city to your final destination. You arrive in Cuzco late in the evening and check into a hotel.

As you sit in your hotel room, reading about the Inca ruins as well as more articles about the disappearances of the tourists, you begin thinking about what to do next.

You decide to check out the sewer. Climbing down the steep stone stairs, the natural light soon disappears. However, lit torches begin appearing on the walls, allowing you to continue seeing. You frown. Why would someone keep torches lit in an old sewer? Someone - or something - must be using this place as a hideout.

The passage makes many twists and turns. Finally, the main passage ends in a wall, but two more passages branch out on each side. You turn around, back to the wall, to make sure that no one - or no thing - has stalked you down here, then examine the side passages. To the right, it looks almost new, in sharp contrast to the ancient sewer, as if it was recently excavated. And to the left, the path looks older, narrower, and darker, although torches continue to light the walls on both passages.

You decide to do some investigating of your own to see if anyone in town knows more about the caretaker than the police do. After several fruitless talks with various townspeople, you decide to give up on this angle for now. Either no one knows anything much about him...or they're too scared to talk.

Wandering around town, you wonder what to do next. You could check out the cemetery now, or wait for nightfall when vampires usually come out. As you are trying to decide, still walking, you wander into a deserted stone courtyard. In one wall is an opening with a set of stairs that appear to go down into the town's old sewer system.

If you're going to die, you're going to die like a warrior princess, not a scared little girl. So you stoically accept your fate.

"Any last words, Marina?" Annabelle asks.

You look straight into her eyes. "All that time together fighting zombies, you always had my back. What changed?"

"Nothing changed. I've always been in it for myself. When it was just you and me in the wilderness, I watched your back because you're a good fighter and you staying alive increased my chances of staying alive. That's all."

You simply shake your head in sadness as you see your companion's true colors. Annabelle becomes cocky and a nasty smile, similar to Rhona's, appears on her face. "Tell you a secret, Marina. Back in the castle, I was secretly working to sabotage things and get the others killed off because I was sick of Jack and Holly being so blindly nice and letting anyone and everyone into the castle. Remember how a horde of zombies burst in through that window right after you arrived and killed that dude Steve? Well, I loosened the boards on the window so the zombies could get in. They never could have gotten in otherwise. Eventually, after enough of the others had been eaten by zombies, I was going to finish off the rest of them and have the castle all to myself like a queen." You stare in shock and horror as the full extent of her betrayal shines through.

"Sorry, Marina. I don't think you're cut out for this brave new world." Annabelle raises her axe all the way, preparing to smash it into your neck.

Suddenly, you kick hard into her kneecap, hearing a satisfying CRUNCH of bone shattering. With a cry, Annabelle falls to the ground and her axe sails loose. Two of the henchmen aim their guns at you, but Rhona raises her hand. "Wait," she commands.

You kick Annabelle hard in the head with your long, black leather boot, stunning her, then look up at Rhona. "She did all that to the people who took her in and took care of her," you tell her. "How do you know she won't do the same to you?"

Rhona looks thoughtful. "You have a point there." She points at the axe. "I think you know what to do."

You nod. You pick up the axe and raise it over Annabelle's head. She opens her eyes and looks up at you pleadingly. "Please, Marina, don't do this," she begs.

"Sorry, Annabelle. I don't think you're cut out for this brave new world."

"Noo..." she cries, but her voice is cut short when you bring the axe down onto her skull, shattering it like a ripe melon. You feel adrenaline rush through you, along with, for the first time in your life, a little bit of sadistic glee.

Rhona looks at the gruesome scene and simply nods. Then she says, "Marina, would you like to reconsider my offer?"

"Why, yes, in fact. Somehow, I think I'll join you after all."

"How did I know you were going to say that?" Rhona holds out her hand. "Welcome aboard."

"Good," says Rhona. "Now you just need to pass a little test." She points at you as she addresses Annabelle. "Kill her."

Rhona smiles nastily. "When I make people an offer, it's one of those 'offers you can't refuse' kind of offers."

You stare at her, then look over at Annabelle, expecting her to defiantly die a martyr alongside you. But Annabelle is raising her axe.

"So will I," adds Annabelle.

Rhona smiles. "Excellent."

You get settled into your new life guarding the town. Rhona rules it with an iron fist, rejecting any weak-looking people who try to join the group and personally executing anyone who hurts the group in even the smallest of ways, such as sneaking an extra apple for themselves. Although some of her brutal actions shock you at first, you gradually come to accept that in this brave new world, her way of doing things is probably smarter than Jack and Holly's unconditional compassion.

Several months later, you and Annabelle are still alive, along with Rhona and all those who have stayed loyal to her and followed her instructions. The weak and the dishonest have been killed off.

It's a grim life, but it's the only way now.

"Let's at least take a look," you say. "We can always bug out if it looks too dangerous." Annabelle still looks skeptical, but she turns the Jeep towards the sounds of combat.

As you round a corner, a violent scene greets your eyes. A group of five humans, three men and two women, armed with various rifles and submachine guns, are positioned around a battered white van, firing outward into a horde of zombies attacking from all directions. Many zombies lie dead around the van, but more keep coming.

You spring into action, opening fire with your pistol. Annabelle follows your lead with her rifle. The two of you add your lethally accurate shots to the group's firepower. When you run out of ammo, you draw your crossbow and begin sending steel bolts into zombie skulls one by one. Annabelle, out of ammo as well, draws her axe, performs a no-handed cartwheel to take her closer to the zombies, and begins bashing their skulls in.

After a long, gruesome battle, the last of the zombies are finally slaughtered. You and Annabelle look at each other and nod as you feel your heart rate slowly return to normal.

The group of five people all seem to be okay. The leader, a tall, muscular woman with long black hair, approaches you and Annabelle with a smile. "Thanks for jumping in."

"No problem," you say.

The woman fixes you, then Annabelle, with a piercing stare and you suddenly feel uncomfortable. "My name is Rhona, and this is my town," she says matter-of-factly. "We've been able to survive the zombie onslaught because we do things right here. No weaklings, fools, or troublemakers are allowed." She gestures to her companions. "I take care of these people and in exchange, they pledge their loyalty to me. Now, you ladies look pretty strong, and you showed that you're able to handle yourselves in a shit situation. Would you like to join our group?"

You know that if you get caught, you're dead, but if you get caught in the barn, the vampires will know there's something special about this place and inevitably search it and find the humans' secret hideout, dooming everyone inside. So you slip out the back door as quickly and quietly as you can, putting as much distance between yourself and the barn as possible.

You walk for two miles, maybe three, until you come to another abandoned-looking farm. There doesn't seem to be anyone around, and even if the vampires catch you here, they'll investigate this place, not the barn where the secret hideout actually is.

You look at the eastern sky. Behind the eternal clouds, you know the sun is rising. It's getting lighter, but you know from your experience yesterday that even midday will only be as bright as a normal twilight. You sigh as you think of poor Brittany again.

Finding shelter in an old wooden shed, you look at the vials again. If only there was a way to use, or at least test, their power as a weapon...

Wait a minute. Maybe there is! You open the vial with the pink powder, then open one of your shotgun shells, dump the powder inside, and close it up again. You load the special shell so that it will be the last one fired from your weapon.

When it becomes light enough to see, you begin making your way back to the barn as cautiously as possible. You can't stay out here forever, and as long as you can be sure there are no vampires around, you should be able to slip back down the trapdoor.

Nearing the barn, however, you hear snarls in the distance. You look for a hiding place, but you are out in an open field, with not even a tree for cover.

A full squadron of vampires, at least a dozen, appears in the distance. Already having sensed your presence, they split up, preparing to surround you. Making sure your silver cross is prominently visible, you let out a high-pitched scream as you ready your shotgun.

The most aggressive vampire darts in straight for you, but freezes upon seeing your holy symbol. You decapitate him with your first slug. The others hesitate, but continue tightening the circle slowly, using their combined mental power to fight the effect of your silver artifact. You fire four more shots, taking out four more vampires, but now eight vampires are almost upon you, and you only have one shot left. Your special shot.

Saying a literal Hail Mary, you aim your shotgun at the brightest point in the gray sky and pull the trigger. The pink powder is sprayed into the air. It makes contact with the dark vampiric cloud...and begins dissipating it! The sky grows brighter and brighter. The vampires freeze in alarm and look up. Then they turn and begin to run.

They are fast, but not fast enough. The powder breaks through the top of the cloud, piercing a small hole in the layer of darkness. Luckily, it's a sunny day in Kansas. The sunlight shines through and dissolves all eight vampires into a gooey mess. You pump your fist in triumph.

You look around. A small circle, perhaps forty yards in diameter, is in bright sunlight with you at the center. Outside of that, darkness still reigns. You look up and see the dark cloud slowly covering up the edges of the circle as the effect of the pink powder begins wearing off. Making sure that there are no more vampires around, you hurry back to the barn. The circle of light in the distance is steadily shrinking.

Opening the trapdoor, you begin climbing down the ladder. Suddenly, you see Gary and Brittany in the tunnel right below you. "Brittany! Come up quickly!" you shout.

The girl scurries up the ladder. You point in the distance to the circle of light, now very small. She stares at it, then looks up. "The sun..." she stammers, overwhelmed with emotion.

Gary joins the two of you at the barn door as the last of the light disappears. "I saw it, Grandpa!" Brittany shrieks excitedly. "I saw the sun! It was so beautiful..." She hugs him, then you.

"Come on," says Gary simply. "Let's get back inside."

After the three of you are safely down the hatch and the trapdoor is firmly shut, Gary looks straight into your eyes. "Katarina, thank you for doing that for my granddaughter. With that said, what the hell were you thinking breaking into my lab and stealing my experiments?"

You look down at your boots, then take a deep breath and say, "Why did you keep it a secret?"

Gary sighs. "I didn't want anyone to get false hope."

"But we have REAL hope now," says Brittany. "For the first time in my life."

"I was hoping to perfect the formula," says Gary. "So that it wouldn't dissipate, so that it would destroy the dark clouds permanently. If the vampires find this place before it's ready...And then there's no guarantee it'll ever become that powerful."

"I'm sorry," you say. "I shouldn't have done that."

"Spilled milk under the bridge," sighs Gary. "Girls, just promise me that this will be kept a SECRET between the three of us until it's time."

"We promise," you and Brittany say at exactly the same time.

Gary smiles. "Good. Now let's get some breakfast from the mess hall and then get to the lab. We have a lot of work to do."

Brittany turns to you. "Thank you, Katarina," she says simply.

"You're welcome. I just hope it won't be the only time you see the sun," you reply.

"Somehow, I know I'll see it again," she says, looking calm and peaceful for the first time since you've met her.

In the mess hall, as you place your sausage and eggs onto your tray, you see Brittany and Gary seated together, deep in conversation. Wanting to give them some privacy, you look around and see the female soldier you met yesterday, Lieutenant Jessica Bell, waving you over to sit with her. You go over and put your tray down next to hers. "Good to see you again, Miss Hart," she says.

"Please, Lieutenant Bell, call me Katarina."

"Okay, Katarina. And please call me Jessica."

"Of course, Jessica. So how are you?"

"Got to eat quickly, we have a scouting mission scheduled soon." She talks a bit about her work as a military officer. You find yourself developing a connection to her, as she is a strong, pragmatic woman just like you.

Jessica suddenly looks at you closely. "What were you and Gary and Brittany talking about near the trapdoor?" she asks.

Turn the wheel to the future and press the red button

QueenNadine — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 08:31:17 GMT

QueenNadine:

You turn the wheel to the future and press the red button. You don't know where or when you'll end up. You just have to get out of here. There is a blindingly brilliant light, then everything goes black.

You open your eyes and look around. You are standing in a field of wheat. You can hear explosions in the distance. A drone fires missiles at a target on the ground, then is blown up by another drone. You stare at the sky. It is covered with dark gray clouds, but the clouds look somehow...unnatural.

You hear a shout and you see a dark-haired man, fangs showing, staring at you. Whipping out your shotgun, you fire, but he does a superhumanly fast cartwheel, dodging it effortlessly. Suddenly remembering your holy necklace as you pump your shotgun in the one-handed Linda Hamilton style, you hold out the silver cross at the vampire with your free hand. The power of the artifact makes the vampire freeze. Your next slug hits him right in the skull, blowing his head completely off.

Another shout makes you whirl. You see a tall, bald man in priestly robes and a muscular, auburn-haired woman in a camouflage uniform, each armed with a rifle and a sword and each wearing a large silver cross. They look at you, then at the headless vampire as its corpse collapses to the dirt.

"Where did you come from? How did you get here?" the woman asks.

"I was kind of wondering that myself. Where are we and what year is it?" you say.

The man and woman give each other strange looks, but the man answers, "We're in Kansas and the year is 2046."

2046! So the time and travel machine worked. But as you look around, you're guessing that this wasn't the best time or place to go.

"What...how..." you begin.

The woman grabs your arm. "We'll have time for explanations later. Right now, we have to get out of here. This place isn't safe."

Your new companions lead you into an old barn. In an empty stall, the man tugs on the hay-covered floor, revealing a secret trapdoor with hay glued to the top for camouflage. He motions for you to go in as the woman keeps watch with her rifle. You head into the hole and down a long ladder, the man and then the woman following you. The woman pulls the trapdoor shut behind her.

Inside, they lead you down a series of narrow tunnels into a large room. A wooden table in the middle of the room is covered with maps. A grim-faced, brown-haired man is seated at the far end of the table.

"We found her outside, sir," the woman addresses the grim-faced man. "She killed a vampire, but she doesn't know...Well, we figured it was going to be a long story, so we came in for safety."

The man stands up. "Welcome," he greets you. "I'm Major Frank Perlman. The nice folks who brought you in are Lieutenant Jessica Bell and Father John Bennington. And you are...?"

"I'm Katarina Hart."

"Well, Miss Hart, how did you survive out there?"

You explain as best you can what happened. You figure no one will believe you about the time machine, but all three of your companions look open at the idea. "I suppose that after what they've seen in this brave new world..." you think to yourself.

"So what's going on here?" you ask.

Major Perlman shakes his head. "Well, evidently, vampires have been planning to take over the world for a very long time. Twenty years ago, they began emerging from the shadows, biting humans and turning them into vampires to increase their ranks. Soon, it became unsafe to go out at night. Then, a couple of years after that, they released something into the air. It created those strange dark clouds you must have seen outside. They blocked out the sun and eventually covered the whole world. Then the vampires began their open war on humanity. With their superior strength, speed, and intelligence, they gradually conquered most of the world over the past eighteen years. There are a few pockets of human resistance left, and we're proud to be one of them." The major points to a map of the world on the table. Most of the map is marked in gray to indicate vampire rule. But there are a few patches of yellow, indicating human-controlled areas, around the Mediterranean Sea, in western Australia, and in southern South America. The largest patch of yellow covers most of Arizona and New Mexico, the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles, and southwestern Kansas. The major points to the last. "That's where we are now. On the front lines."

You gulp in fear, regretting pushing the red button now. But there's no going back.

"Eighteen years," sighs Father Bennington. "An entire generation has grown up never seeing the sun..."

"If they've managed to grow up, which is getting rarer and rarer," says Lieutenant Bell.

You try to steady yourself as your body shakes. All you can do now is fight. Fight for humanity. So you say, "I can't say I wish I was here. But I am, and I'm ready to help you."

Major Perlman nods. "I'm glad to hear that, Miss Hart. What would you like to do? You can join Lieutenant Bell's war platoon. Or you can help Father Bennington and his team with research into anti-vampire holy weapons."

Take the vials outdoors

QueenNadine — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 05:57:54 GMT

QueenNadine:

You decide to take the vials outdoors. If the project is as dangerous as Gary thinks it is, you don't want to expose anyone else. There's always the danger of vampires outside, but you don't think they'll be poking around the barn. If they were that curious about it, they probably would have found the secret entrance to the underground complex by now.

Making your way through the passages, you climb up the ladder, the vials secure in your pocket. Your shotgun is strapped to your back just in case. You push open the trapdoor very slowly, making sure not to make a sound. Poking your head out, you look around. All seems to be quiet. You climb out into the barn and lower the trapdoor shut gently and silently.

You find an open space in the barn, then examine the pink and black substances in the vials. The black substance reminds you of the vile, dark clouds permanently blocking the sun. If that's true, then perhaps the colored substances are attempts at a formula that could make the cloud cover disappear!

You decide to put the vials back in the secret room. You can decide later whether or not you want to talk about this with Gary.

Suddenly, you hear footsteps approaching the front of the barn. Your heart pounds as your body tenses with decision.

You don't think you can make it out without being seen. So you quickly reset the lock and pull the heavy door shut from the inside.

Footsteps enter the lab, coming closer and closer. There is the sound of a key entering the padlock and the door swings open. You look around in panic, but there is no place to hide in the small room.

Gary enters, turning on the light. He sees you immediately. "Katarina, what are you doing in here?" he demands.

Hanging your head, you admit your curiosity got the better of you. Gary scowls. "I keep this place locked up for a reason."

"Please, Gary, let me help you with whatever you're doing..."

"This is my project, and I'll live or die with my success or failure. Now I want you to leave, and swear that you'll never tell anyone what you saw in here."

You race for the trapdoor, yanking it open, jumping into the hole, and pulling it shut behind you. You wait, heart pounding, as the footsteps poke around the barn for several minutes, then fade away into the night. You sigh with relief, then make your way off down the tunnel towards the lab.

Unfortunately, you relaxed too soon. One of the vampires glimpsed the trapdoor swinging shut. About half an hour later, the vampires return with a much larger party. They open the secret trapdoor and invade the hideout.

As you hear screams of men and women being slaughtered by the vampires, you hang your head guiltily at exposing the secret lair and dooming everyone inside. At least you won't have to live with your guilt for long, you think, as you gather your weapons and prepare to make a heroic last stand.

You don't want to get caught, but you don't want to go outside and risk running into vampires, either. You find an empty room down the hall, then seat yourself at a table and place the vials in front of you. You open the one with the pink powder and shake a little onto the table. There doesn't seem to be anything special about the substance.

You then open the other vial. As the black substance spills out, you smell a foul odor. Then it makes contact with the pink powder and there is an explosion - for you, a fatal one.

You snatch up a vial with the black substance and another with a pink powder. Then you race out of the secret room, close and lock the heavy door behind you, and dart through the main laboratory. The footsteps are coming closer. You hide behind a large machine.

The footsteps pass by the lab entrance and continue down the hall. You can't tell who it was. You wait until the coast is clear, then slip out of the lab. You look at the vials in your hands, wondering where is the best place to examine them.

You feel like you have to get in there. After Father Bennington shows you to a spare bed, you wait until you hear snoring all around you, then slip back into the lab. Approaching the locked door, you reach into your long dark hair and take out a hairpin. Inserting it into the padlock, you rattle it around, maneuvering it, using your years of experience. About twenty seconds later, something clicks and the lock slides open.

You push open the heavy door cautiously. Inside the secret room seems to be a smaller version of the scientist's laboratory in the main room, but in here, most of the space is taken up by rows of vials with a black substance in them, and other vials with various colored powders inside.

Suddenly, your trained ears detect footsteps coming down the hall. You stand up straight in alarm as you prepare to make a quick decision.

Go with Father Bennington

QueenNadine — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 04:42:12 GMT

QueenNadine:

"I'll go with you, Father," you say.

"Good, my child," he replies. The priest leads you out of the large room, down a hall, and into a small side room. Inside is what looks like a fully equipped mad scientist's laboratory, along with a white-haired man dressed in a lab coat, and a slim brunette woman of about twenty, dressed like a punk rocker, complete with spiked leather bracelets on each of her slender wrists. Father Bennington introduces you.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Hart," says the white-haired man. "My name is Gary, and that's my granddaughter, Brittany. Don't mind her outfit. She's almost as brilliant a scientist as I am."

Brittany groans, but playfully. "Come on, Grandpa." You can see the genuine affection between grandfather and granddaughter.

"Nice to meet you too, Gary and Brittany," you say. "And please, call me Katarina."

"So, Katarina, where are you from?" Gary asks.

You smile. "Long story." You tell it as best you can.

"Katarina, did the sun shine where you were?" Brittany asks. "Grandpa says I saw it when I was a baby, but I was too young to remember it."

You think back to the last time you saw the sun, when it set as you drove your rental car away from the airport in Bucharest. Then you look at Brittany and sorrow flows through you for her. To go her entire life with no memory of the sun...

"Yes, Brittany, the sun shone. Sometimes. But the clouds were natural."

The girl looks down at her boots.

You reach over and take her hand in yours. "I promise you, I'll help you see it someday, or die trying." She smiles faintly and squeezes your hand. Gary and Father Bennington smile too.

"We've been trying to come up with anything we can to hold the vampires at bay," says Gary. "But even when they work, all we can do is hold them. That's not enough..." He trails off and a distant look appears in his eyes.

"At least we have enough silver artifacts for the people that go outside," Father Bennington says. He points at your silver cross. "That is a powerful one, Katarina. It stopped that vampire dead in its tracks so you could take its head off."

You finger your holy symbol. "Is there any way we could use its power to strengthen other artifacts, mix them together, anything..."

The priest shakes his head. "I can tell that's an ancient artifact. It's only powerful because it's so old. The older and purer a silver item is, the more powerful it is. Wear it well, my daughter."

Gary then introduces you to his work and shows how you can help him. The four of you spend the next few hours mixing chemicals and adding catalysts. Finally, Gary looks at his watch and says, "I think it's time we all turned in. We're all tired and we can get a fresh start in the morning."

As you turn to go, you notice a door in the back of the room, firmly secured with a shiny padlock. Father Bennington notices you looking at it and shakes his head.

After Gary and Brittany have left, you look at the priest. "What's in there?" you whisper.

Bennington shakes his head again. "Gary has some secret project he's working on in there. He calls it Operation Hail Mary. He won't let anyone else go in there or tell them what it is, not even Britt. He says it's too dangerous."

You perk up, curious. You feel like you have to find out what's in there, and with your lock-picking skills, you feel confident that you COULD get into that room. But you're not confident that you SHOULD.

Whatever this is, this is your only chance to find out. You climb down from your top bunk and hurry towards the red glow. You pause in front of it at the wall.

Suddenly, a force seems to pull you through the wall. Your eyes involuntarily close. When you open them again, you find yourself floating in an endless space. Stars and galaxies whirl around you in the distance.

"Now listen, Katarina!" comes the same whisper again.

"Who are you?" you demand.

"That is too long of a story to explain. Just think of me as a Spirit of Time. Now, Katarina, I can take you back to your own time."

"What about the others..."

"They are of this time, and must remain here."

"Will going back to my own time stop the vampire apocalypse?"

"No. But you will go back with full knowledge of what is going to happen. You will have the power to change history."

"Then send me back, Spirit," you say.

There is a blinding flash of light and your eyes snap shut again. When you open them, you find yourself back in your home in North Carolina. Looking at your iPhone, you see that you are also back in 2025, three years before the vampires unleashed their doomsday cloud-maker and launched their war on humanity.

You finger the silver cross around your neck. You are just one woman, but in those three years you are determined to do everything you can to expose and slay as many vampires as possible, change history, and save humanity.

"Glad to have you aboard, Miss Hart," says Lieutenant Bell, shaking your hand. "Please, follow me."

"Thank you, Lieutenant. And you can call me Katarina."

"Okay, Katarina. And please, just call me Jessica. No need for formalities, especially now."

Jessica leads you into an armory. "I see you're already well armed, but here's some extra ammo for your shotgun, and some body armor. Not much does good against vampires, but every little bit helps." She then fingers your silver cross, touching it to the one around her own neck. "These are about the only things that can slow vampires down enough to make them hittable. Glad to see you have one, these are naturally in short supply. Now follow me, I'll introduce you to the rest of my team. Most of them are civilians like you. The regular military chain of command broke down long ago, but we've preserved what we could."

Jessica takes you to a barracks room. Bunk beds line one wall, and a recreation area occupies the rest of the large room. Eight men and three women, most in civilian clothes, are in the room. Jessica introduces you, then shows you to your bunk.

"Get some rest," she calls out to the room. "We're heading out again in about six hours."

One by one, the others finish their billiard and card games and climb into their bunks. Suddenly feeling very tired, you climb into yours and quickly fall asleep.

You awake suddenly in the middle of the night. You look around. Everyone else is fast asleep. You could have sworn you heard a whisper...

The whisper comes again, almost supernatural. "Katarina, come with me...Now is your only chance..." Looking towards the source of the sound, you see a faint red glow at the back of the room. You pause, but the whisper does not come again. The red glow grows fainter and fainter.

You turn the wheel to the future and press the red button. You don't know where or when you'll end up. You just have to get out of here. There is a blindingly brilliant light, then everything goes black.

You open your eyes and look around. You are standing in a field of wheat. You can hear explosions in the distance. A drone fires missiles at a target on the ground, then is blown up by another drone. You stare at the sky. It is covered with dark gray clouds, but the clouds look somehow...unnatural.

You hear a shout and you see a dark-haired man, fangs showing, staring at you. Whipping out your shotgun, you fire, but he does a superhumanly fast cartwheel, dodging it effortlessly. Suddenly remembering your holy necklace as you pump your shotgun in the one-handed Linda Hamilton style, you hold out the silver cross at the vampire with your free hand. The power of the artifact slows the vampire down just enough that your next slug hits him right in the skull, blowing his head completely off.

Another shout makes you whirl. You see a tall, bald man in priestly robes and a muscular, auburn-haired woman in a camouflage uniform, each armed with a rifle and a sword and each wearing a large silver cross. They look at you, then at the headless vampire as its corpse collapses to the dirt.

"Where did you come from? How did you get here?" the woman asks.

"I was kind of wondering that myself. Where are we and what year is it?" you say.

The man and woman give each other strange looks, but the man answers, "We're in Kansas and the year is 2046."

2046! So the time and travel machine worked. But as you look around, you're guessing that this wasn't the best time or place to go.

"What...how..." you begin.

The woman grabs your arm. "We'll have time for explanations later. Right now, we have to get out of here. This place isn't safe."

Your new companions lead you into an old barn. In an empty stall, the man tugs on the hay-covered floor, revealing a secret trapdoor with hay glued to the top for camouflage. He motions for you to go in as the woman keeps watch with her rifle. You head into the hole and down a long ladder, the man and then the woman following you. The woman pulls the trapdoor shut behind her.

Inside, they lead you down a series of narrow tunnels into a large room. A wooden table in the middle of the room is covered with maps. A grim-faced, brown-haired man is seated at the far end of the table.

"We found her outside, sir," the woman addresses the grim-faced man. "She killed a vampire, but she doesn't know...Well, we figured it was going to be a long story, so we came in for safety."

The man stands up. "Welcome," he greets you. "I'm Major Frank Perlman. The nice folks who brought you in are Lieutenant Jessica Bell and Father John Bennington. And you are...?"

"I'm Katarina Hart."

"Well, Miss Hart, how did you survive out there?"

You explain as best you can what happened. You figure no one will believe you about the time machine, but all three of your companions look open at the idea. "I suppose that after what they've seen in this brave new world..." you think to yourself.

"So what's going on here?" you ask.

Major Perlman shakes his head. "Well, evidently, vampires have been planning to take over the world for a very long time.

There are a few pockets of human resistance left, and we're proud to be one of them." The major points to a map of the world on the table. Most of the map is marked in gray to indicate vampire rule. But there are a few patches of yellow, indicating human-controlled areas, around the Mediterranean Sea, in western Australia, and in southern South America. The largest patch of yellow covers most of Arizona and New Mexico, the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles, and southwestern Kansas. The major points to the last. "That's where we are now. On the front lines."

You gulp in fear, regretting pushing the red button now. But there's no going back.

"Eighteen years," sighs Father Bennington. "An entire generation has grown up never seeing the sun..."

"If they've managed to grow up, which is getting rarer and rarer," says Lieutenant Bell.

You try to steady yourself as your body shakes. All you can do now is fight. Fight for humanity. So you say, "I can't say I wish I was here. But I am, and I'm ready to help you."

Major Perlman nods. "I'm glad to hear that, Miss Hart. What would you like to do? You can join Lieutenant Bell's war platoon. Or you can help Father Bennington and his team with research into anti-vampire holy weapons."

Your choices are death, or eternal life. You decide to choose the latter.

"Okay," you say. "I'll join you."

"Excellent," smiles the sexy female vampire. Faster than the eye can see, she moves and you feel sharp fangs bite into your neck. Then you feel nothing at all.

You look down at your new vampire body. You still look the same, but you feel faster, stronger, smarter, and more ruthless than you have ever been before. You feel so much more powerful as a vampire than you ever could as even the most powerful human corporate executive or monster slayer.

"Zat feels good, yes?" says the vampire gymnastics instructor. "Now try out your new gymnastics abilities, my love."

You perform a series of standing back handsprings in a circle, around and around. Your tumbling has always been fast, but now you are literally blindingly quick, doing dozens of backflips per second. You know that you can now dodge any bullet or missile. Finishing your tumbling run with a triple full twist, you land perfectly on your booted feet.

"Beautiful, my love," says the instructor. "Now I vill take you to meet ze others. Humanity's days are numbered. Soon ze vampire race will reign supreme."

You smile to yourself as you think of using your new powers to kill, conquer, and fuck. This is going to be fun.

"I will never let anyone turn me into a monster," you say defiantly.

The female vampire smiles. "Very brave. But very foolish." With that, she gives a flick of her muscular wrist. With her strength and the sharpness of the blade, the sword slices cleanly through your neck.

You can't contain your curiosity about what's down this passage. You enter quietly. When the path curves sharply to the left, all the natural light disappears, though torches continue to light the tunnel.

The passage abruptly ends about a hundred yards further on in a stone wall, but you figure there is another secret door. It is not long before you find another loose stone that opens it, revealing a steep set of wooden stairs. You head up and are shocked to find yourself in a back room in the gymnastics academy!

Suddenly, a sharp blade presses against your throat. You turn around and see the instructor you saw earlier as you passed by on your way to the cemetery. She is now holding a sword to your neck. She is a beautiful brunette with long hair and green eyes. As she smiles at you, she reveals a pair of fangs!

"I see you have discovered our secret passage," she says in a sexy accent. "Zat is unfortunate...for you. Usually, you vould already be dead. But I see zat you have ze body of a gymnast. Vould you care to become one of us? Ve are a secret organization of female vampires, using zis gymnastics academy as cover. Vith our superhuman vampire abilities, ve can back-flip fast enough to dodge any veapon. Each day, our power grows stronger and new recruits are added to our ranks. Soon, ve vill take over zis town, zen zis country, zen ze world."

You swallow hard.

Head straight for the cemetery to find clues

QueenNadine — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 02:11:20 GMT

QueenNadine:

You decide to head for the cemetery, wanting to investigate it in the daytime. Clouds still cover the sky, however, and you make sure your weapons are with you under your long coat. It is a short distance to the cemetery in this small town. On your way, you pass by the local gymnastics academy. You glance in the window, watching the instructor guide the next generation of girls through their back-flips, and think fondly back to your own days as a competitive gymnast.

You enter the open gates of the graveyard. Most of the headstones are cracked or chipped, and a few are knocked over completely. No one seems to be around...no one living, anyway. The cemetery is quite large for such a small town. Death is certainly no stranger here.

A cold wind blows and you shiver despite your warm coat. Looking around, two parts of the graveyard catch your eye. A section in the back is surrounded by a fence overgrown with vines and leaves. It would be impossible to see into it from the outside. And in the middle of the cemetery stands a large, white, marble house-sized tomb, its cleanliness in sharp contrast to the rundown gravestones around it.

Chicken out and decide to go home

QueenNadine — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 02:01:48 GMT

QueenNadine:

You decide that you don't want to go up against an unknown monster. In fact, you have no clue whether a creature like that can even be defeated.

Turning around, you make your way back to your hotel. The next morning, you head to the airport and arrange for a flight home.

You decide to limit your adventures to skydiving, rock climbing, scuba diving, and the like. You have many wonderful vacations, but a small part of you will always wonder what would have happened if you had gone into that tunnel.

You've had enough of the underground, at least for now. You follow the source of light. Soon, a steep stone stairway appears in the side of the passage. You head up it and soon emerge in a deserted courtyard. Looking around, you discover that you are on the edge of town. It should be easy to find your way back to where you want to go...wherever that is. You could go back to the cemetery and check out the other section. Or you could chicken out and decide to go home.

You decide to go into the smelly sewer. There should be an exit back into town from there.

You follow the sewer as it twists and turns. Finally, you see natural light in the distance. You push forward eagerly.

As you pass a section of stone wall, your sixth sense perks up. You see the faintest outline of what looks like a hidden door set into the wall. You press on it, but it doesn't budge. Seeing a few loose stones in the wall nearby, you tug on them one by one until suddenly, one of them makes a clicking sound and the door silently swings open. You peer inside. The new passage continues straight for about ten yards, then turns sharply to the left out of sight. You then look back at the faint daylight in the distance.

You decide to stand and fight like the warrior princess you are.

The warrior princess method is more brave than brilliant. A dozen vampires, fangs out, pour into the room. You manage to blow a couple away with your shotgun and decapitate a couple more with your sword, but then the rest are upon you. You feel sharp fangs rip into your throat.

You enter the passage on the right. Torches continue to line the walls. The path makes several twists and turns, then ends at a heavy, closed wooden door. You press your ear against it. Nothing. You try the door. Locked.

You raise your leg. Thanks to your years of dance and gymnastics training, your legs are incredibly powerful, and a single, lethal kick from your booted foot shatters the wooden door into splinters. You perform a front tuck somersault into the room, shotgun at the ready. But no one is there.

You look around. The room is empty except for a large, strange-looking machine set against the far wall. You examine it. There is a large, round wheel with a pointer, set into a metal panel. A mass of wires connect the panel to a power source. Markings around the wheel seem to indicate a timeline, from hundreds of years in the past to hundreds of years in the future. The pointer on the wheel is currently set to the present, but can be turned in either direction. And next to the wheel is a large red button. You stare intently at the contraption. Could this be a time machine?

Suddenly, you hear footsteps approaching. Many of them. The noise from your destruction of the door must have alerted whoever is guarding this thing. And you are trapped at a dead end, with no way out except...

Drawing your sword from underneath your coat, you reach for the door to the tomb. It is unlocked and opens with a creak. You peek inside. No one seems to be there.

Cautiously, you step inside, drawing your shotgun in your other hand, knowing you have the wrist strength to fire it one-handed. The inside is fully marbled, with various coffins inserted into the walls. All is quiet.

Suddenly, the door slams shut behind you. You whirl around. Dropping your weapons, you try to open the door, but it is locked from the inside. And even a shotgun blast won't get through the heavy marble.

In the darkness, you turn on the light on your gun, looking around. At least no monsters have appeared. The tomb is still quiet. But was the door merely blown shut by the wind...or did someone lock you in? And how are you going to get out of here?

You sheathe your sword, keeping your shotgun in your left hand, and begin investigating the walls. It is not long before you find it. A secret panel on the rear wall, when pushed, opens up a hole in the floor. There is a path leading downward into darkness.

Having no other choice, you enter the passage. Although at first the only source of light is coming from you, eventually you come to a section of the tunnel with lit torches on the walls. You continue following the passage until it forks.

You look around cautiously. To the left, the passage appears to become an old stone sewer, running back in the direction of town. And to the right, the passage looks much more modern, as if it was recently excavated.

You yawn. "No, I think I'll get straight to bed."

"I understand. Have a good sleep, Rina." Annabelle picks up her tray and heads off.

You get a good night's sleep, then get back to work the next day. And the next, and the next. Weeks pass by, then months. Finally, one day, Ryan runs up to you excitedly. "We did it! We came up with a formula that turns zombies back into humans!"

"Oh my God! That's wonderful!" You embrace him in a tight hug.

"I don't mean to brag, but they said they couldn't have done it without my help," Ryan continues. "Which means that if you hadn't broken protocol and jumped in to save my life..."

You shake a little as you think about how close everyone came to missing this opportunity, but get control of yourself. "It was just the right thing to do," you say simply. Ryan gives you a soft kiss on the lips. You smile as you kiss him back.

You exchange your submachine gun for a dart gun, joining the other soldiers in sending the formula into the zombies surrounding the base. Ryan says that the science team eventually hopes to develop an airborne version of the formula to speed up the process. Helicopters are already delivering boxes of the formula to other military bases.

As you look at the growing stream of ex-zombies, now human, trickling into the fort, you smile. Humanity has found a way to defeat the zombies, and you feel proud to have played a part in it. It will be a long struggle, probably many years until the world can be cured, and even more years before the world can be rebuilt. The tunnel is still long and dark, but a faint light is visible at the end of it, growing a little stronger each day.

Your opponents have all the cards now, you think. There's no point dying over this. So you look at Annabelle and you both nod. "Okay, okay, we're leaving!" you call out. The two of you quickly make your way off the boat.

"And don't come back!" the man shouts after you. He and his partner board their boat and disappear down below into the cabin.

Left on the dock, you and Anabelle sigh. "So what now?" Ana asks.

You look out over the marina again.

You take the boat north, following the shoreline. Every few days, you put ashore to forage for supplies and see if there's any place free from zombies. But everything is zombie-infested. You're glad you have the safety of the boat.

Eventually, however, you run out of fuel and are forced to beach the boat. As best as you can tell, you are on a lonely stretch of shore somewhere in Oregon. Winter is coming, the sky is dark and gray, and a cold wind is blowing from the north. But at least there are very few zombies in a place as isolated as this.

You and Annabelle look at each other and nod. It will be tough surviving out here. But at least your odds are better than in a zombie-infested city, and at least you're outside in the free air instead of trapped in a fortress.

You sling your rifle over your shoulder and pat the pistol on your hip. It's going to be a rough ride, but you believe you can make it.
