On a Ship, a Black Freighter
by Joachim Heijndermans
We be a happy crew once. There was rum, spoils, and women. So many women, all who stopped struggling once the cutlass touched their necks.
We shouldn’t have taken her. If we’d known what she’d truly been. Not a lass, but—
Now we sail. We sail on this demon of a ship. She claws at us as we hoist the sails. Teeth that rip our souls apart.
We sail on this ship, a black freighter. We raid, but there be no joy. Only the pain we inflict, tripled on ourselves.
Lord have mercy. But He can’t see us no longer.

A Shot of Carmilla
by Joachim Heijndermans
Funny, a thing like her being so beautiful. Asleep, she could pass for human, were it not for the teeth at the corners from her mouth. Sleeping beauty in a drop pod.
The colony is right below us. Blissfully unaware of what is about to come down on them. Bloodsucker outbreak, brought to them by a shot of Carmilla.
Horrible way to die. And any infected survivors would get the thirst and the sun’s burn, I tell you what. I’d feel bad, but one look at the poster of the King massacre kills any of that.
Green light. Bombs away.
