Episode 4 - Chapter 59


Raven doesn't see a door at first glance, so he approaches an ageing security guard.

“Which way to the gents?” He barks at the man.

“Whut?” The guard replies.

“The gents? The toilet, loo, lavy, rest room, WC, public convenience,” Raven replies “A place where one can do one's business?”

“Back o' th' store.” The guard gestures vaguely.

Raven takes the quickest route he can through the aisles, but his progress is hampered by the shoppers, who seem ignorantly determined to get in his way. Finally he spots a door. Racing towards it, he repeats the word “Market” over and over.

He pushes the door but it doesn't budge. He pushes again, but the door is firmly locked.

Somebody walks into him, emitting a low moan as they do

“I'm terribly sorry...” he says, turning towards her, shocked to see her face is rotting away.
