None of them hear it, the shot that ends the world.

Later there's screaming - there was always so much screaming - but when it happens, all Janet knows is the wet on her face and someone saying "oh", almost too soft to hear.

Sara Sue slumps over the meagre fire with blood in her hair and her left eye in Janet's lap. Janet had always thought her eyes were brown, but this one is graphite-grey, oozing a silvery sludge that smells like pencil shavings.

Her fingers trace the smooth patch of skin over her throat, where a Garbage Man caught them unawares in a safe-house compromised before they'd even arrived. Remembers the bandages made from sketchbook pages, the frantic scratching of pencil on paper, and wonders how much of her is sinew and flesh, and how much is the soft dark lead of an Eerie Number 2 pencil.

Syndi is shouting and pulling at her as Melanie douses the fire. Janet tries to tell them not to bother, that the Garbage Men kill up close when they can and the rest of them are easy pickings now, but her mouth is full of pictures and the words don't come.
