Vampires

    Collect your soldiers he was told, so he prepared for war. The first step was to attack a military supply base along the way to California. Since it was peace time, this proved to be no difficulty at all. A skeleton crew ran the base and they were picked off one by one in the dead of night. The rest died sleeping in their beds, suffocated with carbon monoxide gas.
    Utheus and Argon loaded the two largest supply trucks with cases full of weapons, protective gear, and explosives.
    Utheus smiled as he looked at the prison walls in the near distance. His body coursed with the pure blood of virgins. This would be the test of his new found strength. For the month they traveled, he and Argon drank only the pure blood. He felt invincible.
    As far as prisons went, it was in the middle. The prisoners inside were locked up for violent crimes, but they weren’t serial killers or hardened lifetime criminals. The security was tightly run, but it was not so secure it couldn’t be broken into from the yard.
    The outer prison yard was secured by two chain link fences, topped with razor wire. The usual four corner watch towers were joined by an inner solid brick wall.
    Utheus smiled. The brick wall was no match for a shoulder fired missile, of which he had many.
    The plan was easy, so easy he was not sure why someone had not done it before. They would crash through the gates of the prison. Nothing the guards had on hand would hurt the supply trucks they rode in with. With the shoulder fired missiles they would take out the guard posts, and the inner wall to the courtyard.
    Once inside they could hand out the protective gear and guns to the prisoners. Whomever was left after the firefight ended were to be his new soldiers.
