As I said before, I love vampire stories. I'm just starting to read the original Dracula. Francis Ford Coppola's film was my favorite. When Dracula became a giant bat monster, I got an idea: what if the human race had a natural predator? How would the world, and human society, be different? This is a sci-fi action horror miniseries that you would see on SyFy channel. 300 feels like a good comparison in style.
The time is the present, but you wouldn't know it by looking. Progress has been slowed to a crawl by the Enemy. They come at night. They come in swarms. They come from the sky. Though they are creatures of death, they are very alive. If you're not strong enough, not fast enough, not smart enough, they will eat you. kill them before they kill you. Head, heart. Cut until you see dust. Defend yourself. Defend your family. Fight to live.
The human race still lives in villages, in clans. All men and women must train to kill, to survive. the Enemy preys on the weak, the elderly, the diseased, the deformed. As long as there has been Man, there has been the Enemy. Fire is our only ally in the dark. Where do they come from? Why are there so many? Why are they so easy to kill? There is no science. Only the kill.
"The tree that is humanity needs pruning."
"Humanity needs an enemy."
