Withered Gold, the Night, the Day

Author’s Notes

I’m normally a pretty cheerful guy... but when I saw the movie Se7en in 1995, this story just came blurting out over the next three days. A story in which the world is withered, thinned out, shriveled. Where Everyman is a despairingly unbalanced vampire who seeks moral guidance from the Devil in a bus shelter.

I should know better than to see certain types of movies. If I’d seen a movie about the Care Bears, heaven knows what I might have written.
