THE CURSE OF THE VIRTUAL VAMPIRES

Behold a once noble and gallant sailing* Captain, down on his luck, with
time and money running out, having spent too long fighting holy wars on
the losing side each time. He still has a small circle of supporters and
tolerators in the little squabbling village which has been his only home
and refuge for many years, and which indeed he once governed. But he has
only one old, small sailboat remaining, an outcome which is a cause for
angst and rage at those (most) villagers who are better endowed. But much
of the time, he succeeds in hiding his pain.

(remainder of enthralling story snipped for brevity)



Sorry I couldn't find a way to work in any sailing content. But there's a
Johnny Cash song that expresses pretty much the same sentiment, does that
count?
