Diane Scarrett was the first. She dropped dead at the airport after a fortnight’s holiday in Minorca. It was all very sad. Then 24 minutes later she got up and walked away. That’s when all the other people started dying. Sort of.
The blocks were a great idea. Old housing estates that could be protected and provisioned - away from all the dead people walking around. They weren’t eating anyone, but if you got too close you stood a good chance of getting dead too. It was a difficult time for everyone. The people that were there can tell you themselves. It’s their story after all.
