\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Dear You, <\/p>\n

The body you are wearing used to be mine. The scar on the inner left thigh is there because I fell out of a tree and impaled my leg at the age of nine. The filling in the far left tooth on the top is a result of my avoiding the dentist for four years. But you probably care little about this body\u2019s past. After all, I\u2019m writing this letter for you to read in the future. Perhaps you are wondering why anyone would do such a thing. The answer is both simple and complicated. The simple answer is because I knew it would be necessary<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m good in a crisis, but it\u2019s not because I\u2019m not afraid. I\u2019m always afraid. I\u2019m so stressed I want to throw up. But I am good in a crisis because I am very, very good at making preparations. I try to cover every angle, to plan for every eventuality<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s experience talking,\u201d said Shantay. \u201cIn these situations, the glass is always half empty.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAlways?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAlways,\u201d confirmed the Bishop. \u201cRight until it fills up with some sort of spectral blood that grows into a demonic entity.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What Thurow had done was in the best traditions of the British Empire: she had simultaneously discovered a species and gone to war with it. Thus, the official position of the Checquy on vampires went almost instantly from \u201cDon\u2019t be ridiculous, you silly girl, there\u2019s no such thing!\u201d to \u201cRight, they do exist, and they appear to be killing us<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Do you even know how the duck works?\u201d<\/p>\n
