About ten minutes further down the road I saw an opportunity to safely try out the suicidal experiment. In the car park of a rest area I spotted three zombies very sedately shuffling around in small circles, all near to the entrance of the building at the back of the car park.

I brought the truck to a halt. A little stretch of grass separated the main road from the car park. Jack looked up from the map.

I pointed to the three shufflers. ‘Do you want to try out my See How Much Zombies Can Hear Experiment?’

Jack looked over to them and checked out the rest of our surroundings, he nodded. ‘Yeah, perfect.’

We actually tried a vision test first. Two of the zombies were facing us but they didn’t seem to be paying us any attention. Jack got onto his knees on his seat and stuck the whole of his upper body out of the window, he started waving. They carried on doing their little shuffle circles.

‘That’ll do for the eyesight test. I don’t think we should get out of Blue,’ I said.

I placed the gearstick into park and put my foot down on the accelerator slightly, the engine revved but there were no changes in the zombies’ behaviour. I pressed down on the pedal a little harder. There was still no change so I put my foot right down to the floor. All three of the zombies stopped shuffling and their heads started to almost twitch. They seemed to be looking around, maybe trying to see where this new noise was coming from. I took my foot off the accelerator completely and the engine settled down to its normal rumbling noise.

‘They’re deaf as a fucking post,’ I laughed.

‘Horn?’ Jack suggested, he pointed at the button he struggled to find the previous day.

I pressed the button and the loud foghorn that had been installed in our truck rang out, signalling to everything within earshot that we were here. It only took a heartbeat for the zombies to go from shuffling to sprinting, demonstrating an incredible turn of pace.

They were about thirty feet from us when I put the truck back into drive, slowly accelerating away. With their mouth’s wide open the contorted faces had a wild and hungry look to them.

‘Just one more experiment. Let’s see how fast they can go?’ I proposed.

‘Okay, but don’t fuck about.’

The speedometer read 15 mph. One of the zombies was easily keeping up with us. She looked like she’d been in good shape in her previous life.

Or just in life, I should probably say.

The other two looked slightly heavier and were falling back. I got the truck up to twenty five miles per hour and the lead chaser also looked like she was starting to drop back. I put my foot down and started to leave all three of the zombies behind.

‘Wait a minute,’ Jack said. ‘Do a stamina test. Let’s see how long she can keep up with us.’

I slowed the truck back down to twenty miles per hour and let her catch us slightly.
