Andy didn’t know how much time had passed since the girl revealed his fate. Eaten alive. If there was an appropriate response, he hadn’t yet found it. Besides, he had more immediate concerns. Every time it felt like the anaesthetic had worn off, the burn in his thigh rose to an entirely new level, a molten spear being pressed deeper into his leg with every fresh wave.

While Andy rode out the agony—his brow sodden with sweat—the girl said, “Do you have any children?”

She’d lusted after his living flesh and now she wanted to make small talk? What did she want to do next, discuss the weather? Make a joke about two buses turning up at once?

After about thirty seconds, the girl asked again, “Do you have any children?”

“So I’m lying here, waiting for them to eat me alive—waiting for you to eat me alive—and you’re asking me about my family?”

The same detached stare regarded him.

“Okay, fine,” he said. “No, I don’t have any children.”

The padlock on the door at the top of the stairs snapped open again, cutting their conversation short.
