Life is a constant surprise when you have Alzheimer’s.

Strange Horizons published my short story “Sundowning” today. This is a very personal story for me: my maternal grandfather had Alzheimer’s for several years before he died last February, and my maternal grandmother has just had to be put in a home because of hers. The character in the story is not either of my grandparents, but some of the interactions are based loosely on real things that happened with them. Of course, my grandparents never survived a war with vampires.
