Looking back on the day I think I saw less than twenty of the undead. I was expecting more, a lot more. I’d imagined a dash to the river with thousands chasing me. Then again, I’d imagined staying a few paces ahead, reaching that community of houseboats, and slamming the gate closed just before They reached it. As far as I thought about killing any of Them, I didn’t think of it as anything more than swinging my arm. They would fall, and I would move on. I didn’t think of it as killing at all, not really.

And the undead can hear. I’ve suspected it, but today I had proof. It’s obvious, really, every time I emptied the sink or bath, or flushed the toilet, They heard water running through the waste pipe to the drain by the side of the house. Sam must have been doing the same, and with the same sorts of sounds coming from different ends of the street, They couldn’t work out exactly where the noise was coming from. As their numbers began to thin at about the same time the water ran out, the conclusion seems sound.

As theories go, this is both a helpful and a gloomy one. It suggests there aren’t that many zombies in London. If that’s the case, why hasn’t the government sent in the military to deal with Them? Does this mean the government really is gone? That’s a question I can’t answer today. It’s one of many, like why didn’t Jen’s bodyguard turn into one of the undead? Had he used the vaccine? I suppose that’s the most obvious answer.

Oh, and the radio? It was broken.
