“With people like him in charge, no wonder the world’s gone to shit,” Professor Cutler raged. “Short-sighted, moronic, unappreciative...”

Dr. Robertson opened the door to the lab where they had been working. The red wine during the meal had been a pleasant indulgence. The sailors on board regularly drank homemade hooch, but wine was an infrequent luxury. Dr. Robertson hadn’t drank for some time and the alcohol had taken the edge off the day.

The lab was dimly lit by a collection of standby lights on equipment and the warm red glow of the computer screen, still showing the Professor’s blood sample. It didn’t feel unnatural entering the gloomy lab; the pair of them had worked so many late nights here over the years.

Doctor Robertson pulled the still fuming Professor over the threshold, into the lab.

“Well, someone appreciates your work,” she said, dragging him deeper into the room. She grabbed a dustsheet from the unused gurney and threw it over the struggling zombie strapped to the second one.

“Thank you,” Professor Cutler started, oblivious to his colleague’s intentions. “At least you realise the importance of—”

Dr. Robertson flung her arms around his neck. “That wasn’t the work I had in mind,” she said.

With a tipsy stumble she pushed Professor Cutler onto the vacant gurney.

Dr. Robertson quickly unfastened her blouse and skirt, discarding them to the floor. Professor Cutler hurriedly unbuckled his belt and kicked off his shoes.

Under the hastily deposited sheet, the immobilized zombie tugged at its restraints. It tried to raise its head to see past the sheet hastily tossed there, but the strap around its neck held firm. The creature curled its lips back to moan, but the ball gag silenced all but the slightest noise. The sheet over its desiccated body did nothing to reduce the sounds from across the room—the soft moaning, the drip-like noise of moist lips kissing, the rhythmic groans and creaks of the adjacent gurney.

The zombie used what feeble strength it had to try to force itself loose, to free itself and gorge on the living flesh so tantalizingly close. But it was futile. Its bonds were too strong and its flesh was too weak.

The lovers, lost in their passion, were oblivious to the futile writhing of the tethered zombie.

None of the room’s occupants noticed as the light in the room slowly began to change. The warm red glow softly darkened. One by one, the corpulent cells on the computer monitor shriveled and blackened.
