It may well have been that the zombies had not had a fresh kill for some days – and they were definitely acting as if that were the case. The way they frantically fought over the victim reminded me of those wildlife documentaries I’d seen – you now, the one where the hyenas, lions and vultures are all fighting each other over the same zebra carcase on the veldt. It was rough, bloody, noisy and bestial. There was nothing I could do but wait and watch – I could not afford to walk away from David unless I wanted to meet the same fate as this most recent victim of the apocalypse. Once again, I lost my lunch. No-one cared. How had this person – whose identity and even gender were no longer discernible – held out for so many days against the hordes only to be taken when help might have been close to hand? The glass doors to the Rowden White Gallery were open, swinging gently in the breeze, but there was no sign of disruption or violence to be seen inside. I’d say that this was where the person had come from – he or she had not got far before being set upon. Or, more likely, they had tried to leave and, finding zombies all about, had tried unsuccessfully to retreat to the gallery. In any event, the feasting zombies had brought their prey to bay within metres of the now-open doors. Based on previous experience, I knew that they (and David) would be occupied for some time with their grisly prize. So, I quietly entered the Rowden White and gently closed the doors behind me. I could observe the ‘festivities’ from a distance, through the glass doors and re- join David when it was appropriate. I decided to scout around. Just as I had thought: there was no food to be found – only remains and wrappings. Even the bottled water supply had run out. Perhaps this was what finally had driven the victim to try such a desperate escape. You can survive without food for quite a while but, once the water runs out, your survival time is short.
