Apocalypse in the Boneyard (...from the vampire's point of view)

I've seen a couple of different shows and read a few books in my time that hypothesis what the world would be like if we humans all but disappeared. Everyones approach is different and has it's own merit. I think that at some point I might have to write a story along similar lines. When I do there is only one setting that it could take place: 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG).

AMARG is down in Arizona and is where they send decommissioned aircraft. It's also been called "The Boneyard." I can't think of a better place for a post-apocalyptic storyline.

Maybe about a soldier of fortune type guy who sets up his own little base at AMARG and kills anyone that he encounters until a nomadic family happens upon the installation and is so in awe of it that the dude spares their lives in exchange for a steady supply of food.

Or maybe mega fauna makes a come back in North America and the whole story is about how these mammoths gain intelligence and then inhabit the base, eventually discovering how to recommission the planes and from there take over the whole world.

Or maybe something from the vampires point of view.

I dunno. Here are some pics:
