    About this ebook

    Milo, an eternal vampire suffering from painful visions of the future, has found shelter in a remote boarding school in England. Well, not only shelter, but also a lover, maybe something more. But his affair with a younger man is not the only problem he has to deal with. When some disturbing rumors about a colleague reach him, he has to decide between his own comfort and safety of his students.
    It’s a bonus chapter for Piquant! A Vampire’s Guide to Pansexual Porn, but may be read individually as well.

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      I knew another great war was coming.

      The first time I saw it in a vision, I was sure it’s a reminiscence of the previous one. But the vision had become so frequent and taunting I soon realized I should brace myself for another tragedy.

      I had seen many wars in my time. I had seen many disasters, deaths and lives filled with pain. But my visions… they showed me something entirely new. A dystopian novel rather than something probable. And then… stupid, unnecessary and meticulous killing. Not killing, no. Extermination.

      And that was only about Europe, my home. There were other visions as well. Of pain and killing in all parts of the world. Of slaughter and rape. And power capable of making whole cities sink into oblivion.

      Nevertheless, my fear of what was about to come wasn’t as strong as my fear of the visions themselves. I didn’t want them or need them, because I was well aware they lacked details that would allow me to prevent the war. All they ever did was brought me nightmares.

      I saw another vision, a very short one, as I was sitting behind a desk in a dark classroom number seventeen. The color pallet of this place was unamusing, everything was brown—wooden floors, tables, chairs, and paneling on the walls—and gray, like the uniforms the thirteen-year-old
