The impact was great, sending enough debris into the atmosphere to thrust the world into a years-long impact winter. In these dark times, many lives were lost to sickness, hunger, and to the cruelty of other desperate humans. All across the world, society fell, and from the ashes rose the vampires—creatures of the night, immortal and bloodthirsty and looking to stake their claim in the remains of the world. Humans fought back in resistance, but the vampires easily overpowered the humans and overwhelmed t
