Myles didn’t have much of a choice. Death manifested itself in the hands of a man hell-bent on draining his body dry. The unyielding thirst for blood necessitated his demise. Yet, Myles wasn’t about to go down without a fight.
To Esteban, it was nothing more than a job. Nothing personal, just professional. And Myles wasn’t the first to grace his table, pleading for life. It never worked before. Those who entered his lab were nothing more than pawns in the struggle to keep life going.
Tasked with survival, humanity’s ability to move forward rested upon the backs of many vulnerable people. It was a battle fought in the open. Though, the conflict remained invisible to the naked eye. The plight of some fueled society’s thirst for resources. It needed blood.
Genetically, they were no different. Arms, legs, heads… and blood. Regular human beings, if not for their substantially diminished height. A genetic mutation was credited for their small bodies, diverging from normal sized humans centuries ago. Considered no more than pests, they barely co-existed, often meeting the same fate as other nuisances the giants did away with.
Lines consistently blurred due to these often complex relationships. Esteban and Myles’ situation was no different. Charm and gentle persuasion bought seconds, then minutes and eventually unlimited time.
Born from a metal table shrouded in death, a giant and tiny person forged an unlikely relationship. Friends, with benefits. Companions, some may say. A two inch tall man on the verge of death now making his best life with a man who wanted to kill him.
Their story was the exception.
But so was another relationship between Esteban and a different victim, the one who got away. Esteban found himself now a victim of blood thirst too, of relentless revenge that wanted to destroy his life in the process…
