MADISON – Once, in a dark corner of the political world, there was a figure whose name struck fear into the hearts of those who struggled to survive. Robin Voss, a man with ambitions that reached far beyond the statehouse, had become something more than human. He had been transformed into a vampire—no longer driven by a need for power or wealth, but by an insatiable thirst for something more sinister: the life force of the weak and vulnerable Wisconsin welfare recipient.
It started innocently enough, with promises of increased support for the most vulnerable citizens. Voss smiled in front of cameras, his eyes glinting with an eerie, unnatural gleam as he pledged to make life better for those in need. But behind closed doors, his plans were far more sinister. He used his power to isolate and control those dependent on welfare. He lured them in with promises of assistance, but once they had crossed his threshold, they became his prey.
As a vampire, Voss didn’t need money, he needed something far more precious, energy. An energy that could no longer be replenished by cutting funding to the city of Milwaukee or public services across the state. He found that draining the life force from those who were already struggling allowed him to become even stronger. Their cries of desperation fueled his endless hunger, their fear providing a dark thrill. Every night, he would visit homes in the poorest neighborhoods across the state of Wisconsin, slipping through shadows and feeding on those who had nowhere to turn.
Communities across the state, unaware of his true nature, continued to praise him for his supposed generosity, unaware of the evil lurking beneath the surface. People whispered about the strange happenings that occurred in the poorest corners of the state, the sudden, unexplained illnesses, the disappearances of those who had once been receiving welfare.
But every vampire has their weakness. Voss, despite his dark powers, underestimated the resilience of those he preyed upon. A small group of survivors began to piece together the truth about their mysterious suffering. They began to investigate, seeking answers. They uncovered records, strange accounts, and the secret meetings where Voss would drain the life force of those he had promised to protect.Together, they rallied the people who had been forgotten, who had lived in the shadows, but were now ready to stand in the light. With a plan to expose Voss for what he truly was, they set out to stop him before he could feed again.
On the night they confronted him, Voss stood tall, his pale face bathed in the cold light of the moon. His eyes were glowing red, his fangs sharp as knives, but the group had come prepared. With holy relics and ancient symbols, they created a barrier that even his vampire strength could not break. In that moment, Voss realized the full extent of the rebellion he had sparked—the once-helpless had become the hunters.
In the end, Voss was defeated, his reign of terror over the welfare recipients ending at last. But the damage he had caused would not soon be forgotten. His legacy remained a reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and the horrors that could lurk behind even the most innocent-seeming promises. This tale leads us to question whether other vampires exist within our state’s government, beware next time you see Ron Johnson hanging upside down from a tree in front of your house, he very well may be planning to steal your blood!
