OK, here's a story you're either going to love or hate. You've seen these shows/movies about a "Slayer"-you know, someone who hunts the Vampire. Well, they're based on ancient lore which actually is true (pretend for a second you believe in Vampires ... or this just isn't going to be any fun at all). Of course Hollywood got it all wrong. It's not just some little girl, who somehow randomly gets assigned the job of Slayer ... no way!

Here's where it gets bumpy, hang on! The deal is ... except that Vampires and trolls really do exist. Next, assume they've got some sort of a social structure, or, hidden society. Of course they're shunned by people ... feared, hated, hunted. And of course they are evil. And since they only look like humans, they're needs and desires (lusts' ... in some cases) are very different from our own.

First, remember that everything you know about Vampires, you've learned from Hollywood (unless you actually read books?). And Hollywood is not often recognized for its academic excellence. Reality often completely escapes them. They change the rules whenever it conflicts with a good camera angle. 'Only at Night' 'wooden stakes' 'no reflections' 'Must be invited in(?) '-Hollywood! Safe to say, I didn't even really know what motivates a Vampire ... 'til I met Tasha-a Slayer.

That brings me to the next point of this discussion ... trolls. You know, those slimy 2/3-armed creatures from Hell. Wrong! Evil-yes; appear to be humans-often(?); demonic possession of humans-why bother. Even Hollywood hasn't bothered to "define" them. You see a troll in a Movie when the writer needs some "thing" really bad, and he's played the alien card too often ... "We'll just make it a troll, then it can be anything we want!" Well trolls have lived on Earth nearly as long as we have. Sure, they're often ugly, degenerated beasts-but, they've still got a mother (we're not sure about fathers). And they've got feelings, lots of feelings. (that's a whole 'nuther book)

The good news, trolls are so similar to humans, they can even inter-breed with us. And the bad news is ... they like to inter-breed with us. This can often produce some horrific mutants … which generally become supper ... and, 1 out of every 100,000 off-spring is a Slayer.

Why a Slayer you ask ... go ahead ask me! Well, imagine you're an evil race of beings. You've shared the Earth with another evil race of beings for thousands of years. You've lived in caves, basements, dungeons, abandoned churches-they've lived in castles. You eat all manner of disgusting things-they drink the blood of humans. You're ugly, vile, filthy creatures that often walk about on all fours(fives)-they are romanticized, lofty beings nearly god-like who are rich and infamous. Now suppose at no real cost to you, you could train one of your super-powered half-breeds to live among humans and exact revenge on Vampires-no brainer, huh? We call 'em Slayers!

These are the adventures of a Slayer named Tasha ...
