by Red WolfWith the curse of peace looming large on the horizon, it looked like the killing fields of the Great War would soon cease to provide the scavengers that travelled in its wake with an easy source of prey.
"A little bird told me that something nasty is coming."
"Did it now. Best be prepared then shall we, love."
Tents blossomed as emergency hospitals were erected to cope with the influx of victims from the influenza pandemic.
The pale nun and priest who offered comfort to the sufferers were barely noticed in the commotion of the dead and dying around them.

And what's a little blood loss between friends, eh? *eg*
I liked this one, Wolf. Pheral's right, it did have a good atmosphere. Rather... haunting. Mmmmmm. :) — via LiveJournal — posted by Moonbeam at 23.07.2004 14:33 AEST |

Funny, I thought it a little weak. Did give me the excuse the google historical info, which is always good — via LiveJournal

A war with an influenza pandemic thrown on top would be a vampire's dream come true.
More people died from influenza that were killed in World War I and, oddly enough, it was people between 20 and 40 who it targetted rather than the usual young and elderly. Google is my friend — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 23.07.2004 14:39 AEST |

Redwulf,
Tobywolf13 chose you for her appreciation today as part of Fanfic appreciation week.
I agree with her choice and came here to reread some of your fine drabbles.
I don't think I ever gave feedback on this one and it is a eerie, chilling tale. I know I've told you what a fine grasp you have of the drabble, exactly what needs to be told and what the reader can decide for his or herself. I'll tell you again because a writer can never hear enough of such words. — posted by Sandra Strait at 08.03.2005 12:32 AEST |
