Yes, I’m aware. Heartily, unhappily, embarrassingly, aware.

The real reason why. THE USUAL DAMN REASON if you’ve followed my career path.

But since the most famous book about it was all letters… I finally decided to just go with it because WHEN THE STORY WON’T GET OUT OF MY HEAD I HAVE TO INFECT YOURS! And you’ll have to put up with the style.

GAH!

Letters from the Front

Dear Senator Townsend:

As I’m sure you are aware, your grandniece Genevieve and I were married the night of the Outbreak in a brief but in Georgia legally binding ceremony. You might remember me from when I was being introduced to members of Congress post Grenada. Genevieve and I are both currently up in Jersey City working in the areas around the refinery as part of the Militia program. Since Congress is still debating the Militia Act, I thought you might be interested in how that is going.

Short version: We need reinforcements. There are an enormous number of Novembers in the NYC/NJ area. If we’re going to get the Type One numbers down before the Army gets armored up, we need more Hunters.
