Plot
The world is dark and rotted. Nightmares stalk the night. Miller hunts demons for a living, until the day his work catches up with him, and he loses his life. He wakes up covered in thorns and hungry for something he has no name for. Until a werewolf crashes into his life, new and scared and hungry too.

Miller The CowboySunbright to the point of scathing, Miller is a loner. Friendly to all but friend to none. He hunts the horrors that others can't bear to see. He scrubs the filth, cleanses with blood, strips skin from bone, all for the price of a full belly of food and a roof to sleep under.
One night, he slips up. He dies. And wakes up with skin that grows thorns during the night, and a black sleek tail that resembles a cross between a scorpion and a cat. His heart no longer beats, and sunlight burns his skin. His teeth, are shark-sharp and shaped just the same. He hungers to no end. To fill the pit in his stomach he continues to hunt the most awful of monsters, no longer fearing death. (Miller is also a trans man.) |
Leo The WerewolfDevout, attentive, and caring, Leo works in a small-town church in the middle of nowhere. He lives a normal life, guiding prayers and listening to confessions. He buys milk on Wednesdays. Everything is a routine.
Until a cloaked white-haired cowboy rolls into town to deal with a rowdy pack of wolves in the woods near the town. But these wolves are no dogs, they are men, and one of them is Leo's lover. The secret is broken when he attacks Leo one night. The attack spreads throughout the town, killing nearly everyone, until Miller the hunter intervenes. Leo's lover manages to escape that night, and Leo is left alone with his body that doesn't feel the same anymore, that strains under the moonlight, that itches from deep in his bones. With his town in ruins and his ex-lover on the loose, he asks for Miller's help to hunt him down. |
