The Midnight Guardians
People say we're cruel. People say we're judgmental. People say we're unnecessary. Let me tell you about us.
I never chose to be a Vashti. I don't particularly like spending my nights hunting down dark creatures, instead of lying quietly in my bed, hoping they will eat the people I don't like at school.
Some of the best of us can be ruthless. We can be heartless. It's part of the job. The worst of us can be tender. Don't think you know us. We are the unknowable, the ones who protected you from the monster in your closet. We will always be here. Get out of our way so we can do our job.
Sincerely,
Jamie Carrington
