Vampires in the lemon grove stories7/5/2023 The Seagull Army Descends on Strong Beach, 1979 The worker revolt which follows transforms the tale into a metaphorical reimagining of a similar (minus the horror element) story which took place under the real-life Japanese historical era known as the Meiju Empire. They call the place the Nowhere Mill and have become a family of sorts dependent upon one another as a result of falling for a trafficking scam which ultimately has them literally turned into silkworms after being drugged with a special tea. Kitsune is one of several young Japanese women living together in a constricted room furnished with a window, but situated so high that it offers no affordable view. Magreb becomes his wife and also teaches him the secret to survival of sucking on the lemons in the grove as a replacement for sucking blood. He learns that he doesn’t have to sleep in a coffin, avoid the sun or drink blood. Only upon meeting a female vampire who has never drank blood named Magreb does he come to realize all that mythic stuff is made-up stuff. In reality, he is a vampire from the Old World who has spent his life as a monster of the dark following the rules of vampirism with which we are all quite familiar.
