House
220 David
After a long search Sophia finally finds the black columns. There is a zombie-man, in suspension, at the centre of the open area. She goes in closer. It is David. But he cannot hear or see her. There is no life in his eyes.
She sweeps back his long, matted hair, and touches his skin.
“It’s me,” she says. “Sophia”.
There is no response.
“Can you hear me?”
Still nothing. His eyes are blank. They are seeing nothing.
Sophia brings out the pocket-watch, and opens it up, to play the tune. There is some recognition in David’s eyes.
