Have you ever wondered what would happen if a vampire sucked a zombie’s blood?

Yea, me neither, but that’s the kind of bullshit you start asking yourself after you’ve received your 10-millionth manuscript rejection. That’s when you start looking around at the popular trends and trying to figure out how you can copy it and get some of those sweet goodies for yourself.

Next thing you know you’re sitting in McCoy’s on a Monday afternoon drinking beer and wondering about vampires and zombies and shit, and then whamo! all of a sudden you find yourself starring in your own meta-fiction piece.

So, that’s where I was — that’s where I am — sitting in McCoy’s on a Monday afternoon smack dab in the middle of my own meta-fiction piece thinking about vampires sucking zombie blood, when all of a sudden all hell breaks loose on the street outside the window.

There’s people running around and screaming and getting their heads tore off. There’s zombie-vampires flying around and vlogging (2018 undead) themselves biting and eating people.

How’d it start?

Hell, I don’t know…how about a 2,000 year old vampire named Achinoam got hungry and bit some guy who’d just been infected with a zombie virus.
