The ship’s horn continued to echo around the harbour and beyond. Captain Digby watched with professional interest as the previously aimlessly shambling zombies turned as one to the deafening blasts of the ship’s horn and moved towards the ship.

The ones on the beach just turned and knowing the noise that had disturbed them came from the big grey object not far from them, took the most direct route and walked into the sea. Undeterred by the water that got deeper with every step, they continued wading until a wave knocked them over, leaving the watchers with what would have been in other circumstances a brief comedic scene of uncoordinated arms and legs flailing as they disappeared below the surface. Others just simply kept walking until they were completely submerged, small ripples on the surface following their progress for a short time until he presumed they’d drowned or were too deep to disturb the surface of the sea. He hoped for the former, but he still cast his eyes down to the sea, where in the clear water of the sheltered bay they were in, he could distinguish between the light and dark of either sand or seaweed beds on the ocean floor.

As he stared down, his mind could not help but conjure up the terrifying image of an army of the undead marching towards them along the seabed.

Others in the town, prevented from falling off the harbour wall by its railings, continued along the sea front until channelled along the jetty that reached out towards the ship.

They dumbly followed one another, moving together as one seething mass. When the leading ones neared the ship, they stretched out their arms, their fingers searching for the meal their remaining senses told them was contained in the ship holding position three yards from the sheer stone walls of the harbour’s jetty. The gap between the jetty and the ship did not register in their simplified brains and without faltering, they just stepped off the edge and tumbled into the water below. Some sank immediately from sight into the dark shaded water, whereas others remained floating for a short time as air trapped in their clothes buoyed them up until slowly they, too, sank from sight.

The sailors and marines lining the rail alongside him initially cheered and whooped at the sight of so many comically tumbling into the water, scoring marks out of ten for a particularly skilful dive. Digby did consider ordering them to stop, but from the exaggerated cheers and cat calls coming from the servicemen and women, he soon realised that after
